Well, my CV 25P has arrived (Thank You Stephen "Cameraquest" Gandy!) and it looks like a winner. Currently uncoded but I have a B+W UV/IR Cut filter on it. Here is a reduced test shot at f/4: Nothing special - just another rainy day in the Sunshine State. On the fullsize image in my gallery, you can see the raindrops in front of the garage door.
(Yes, I need to repave my driveway.)

It's a very good lens according to Sean Reid, especially the second copy he tested. It will need the coding tho won't it? See the cyan shift up in the corners? I think J Milich can help you there. See Sean's review at www.reidreviews.com.

Just mailed the flange off to John today. Was easier to disassemble than the Nokton. I noticed the cyan shift as well. Still I am pleased with the sharpness of this copy. CV lenses are diamonds in the rough.
Here is a 100% crop showing the raindrops that were falling from the sky

I like this shot- the palm leaves of the trees just jump out at you! I own this lens as well.
