I am finding that the Epson RD-1/s and VC lenes tend towards very vivid and saturated Fujifilm Velvia-style colors. When using a Zeiss 18mm lens with the RD-1/s cameras, the colors are more natural and unsaturated. Anyone else??

good trick, didn't think of that...
as to the question, i find the colours coming from the rd1 unique, i think it's more the camera than the lenses.
in fact, that damn camera has turned me into a colour shooter from a die hard b&w shooter.

CV vs Zeiss
CV vs Zeiss
I am not in total disagreement with Double Negative's opinion
This was taken with a Zeiss lens and
this was taken with a CV lens.
Although both were post processed I believe they give a reasonable idea of the difference between most of the m-lenses from Zeiss and CV.
But since my collection of Zeiss lenses is 0 and CF 3 my opinion is based on a limited study and hearsay, so I am looking much forward to hearing input from other photogs as well with a wide collection of Zeiss and CV lenses.
Edited to add: I have a Leica lens (CL version) as well, and it has a totally different colour than the Zeiss and the CV. Although I can only concur with back alley's regard of the camera I do believe the lens matters quite a lot.
