Voigtländer 40mm f2.8 Heliar lens (VM & LTM) - Images

I'd like to buy one of these 40 Heliar. However, finding pre owned is relatively difficult and new prices 25-30% overnew M mount. the difference is even for pre owned ast M versions can be seen below $300.
 
This is such a great all-around lens.​

I had occasion to do a little bit of pixel peeping the other day comparing the outside corners of the CV-40, with my newly purchased CV-35 (Ultron II). The 40mm Heliar was a fair bit sharper than the 35mm Ultron. This was done on an M11. Indeed, the Heliar was even sharper than the 50mm Summicron (v5) as well. Beyond the discussion on whether you even need to pixel peep at all, anyone else find this too?

Leica M7 Voigtländer Heliar f/2.8 40mm aspherical (LTM) @ f/5.6, Kodak Portra 400. At first I used the lens with an adapter for 35mm, but had sometimes bad framing. Now I use a 50mm adapter and try to tightly framing the subject.
