The CV lenses are superb value for money. I just sold the 28mm Nokton, but 
only because the focal length did not agree with me. I have the 1.2/35mm and 
it is great, including at f1.2--the true measure of a fast lens. Sure, it is 
nicer to have the Leica lenses, but if the choice is between a 30-year old 
Leica and a modern CV lens, then the latter usually wins hands down.

Cheers,
Nathan
