And I have a great 50 Nokton and had an excellent 75. There is no
question that Cosina qc is NOT Leica qc.

I really think there is considerable sample variation in the CV lenses. 
I am super impressed by my 15mm but many have criticised it. I had a 
hideous 50mm Nokton but my 75 and 35 f2.5 are great.
