For best image quality go with the Zeiss 21 2.8 or at the higher end of cost the Leica 21 1.4 ASPH. Very very high optical performance but at a high price. If budget precludes that then you will get very close to the older Leica 21 2.8 optical performance with one of the Cosina offerings at a much better price. The CV lenses will also tend to be more compact. My logic is that you can do far better optically with the higher end optics; as well they will deliver the goods with almost any platform you migrate to. But, budgets do constrain us so you can spend far less for equivalent performance with the CV products. This is the classic good better best decision; the difference between good and better is not much optically but significant price wise.
