A couple of years ago, after reading a number of reviews, watching ax many YT videos as I could find, and following this thread here on FM I purchased the CV 40/1.2.
Long story-short...I never bonded with it so off it went.
Background: I own two Voigtlander's that bookend the CV 40mm - the APO 35 and APO 65. IMO, as primarily a landscape photographer it doesn't get any better than those two. Enter the CV 40mm and I couldn't find the proper niche for it in my kit. But yet, I love the outcome of so many of images posted here on this thread.
Is it time to give it another try?
Before I decide whether to buy another can I ask your opinion(s) on what you feel the main difference is between the APO 35 and CV 40mm? And what is the primary use for your CV 40mm - landscape, street, environmental...??
Thanks for future comments.
