Hi Geir,

I use and like both Voigtlander lenses.  If you're interested, I did 
write a review of the Nokton f1.1 on my blog.  You can see it at 
http://www.monomagic.co.uk/blog/?p=218

As far as the 75mm is concerned, I have the screw-mount f2.5, which is 
used on a Leica M8.  Here's a shot taken with it way back in 2009...

The 75mm f2.5 is very sharp, and performs well wide-open (at least it 
does on the M8).  This lens has now been replaced by a Leica M mount 
f1.8 version.

I'd love to have the Leica equivalents, but the cost precludes it.
