the CV (mine is the pancake II version) is a fine lens, but has a lot more vignetting on full frame film than the Summarit. This does have a real impact on the look of the images.
I have both and prefer, overall, the Summarit, but the CV is a darned good lens and I use both of them. I tend to take the CV when doing one lens street work as the focus is much stiffer, so I can set it to a specific distance and know it won't budge. The focus action on the Summarit is much lighter.
