Well-known
I love my VC lenses but voted Zeiss as there's something about them I really like, actually in preference to Leica glass.
Like many here I've sampled widely across all three ranges and looking at what I have sold, it's nearly always the Leica glass that goes in preference to the Zeiss or Voigtlander lenses.
The exception was in deciding between the CV25/4 or the ZM25/2.8 - in the end the Zeiss went as the Voigtlander is so good, but it is the one lens I might admit to regret selling.
My range of lenses now complement nicely:
Voigtlander: 15/4.5; 25/4; 28/2; 35/1.2; 40/1.4
Zeiss: 21/4.5; 35/2.8; 50/1.5
Leica: 90/2.8; 135/4 + vintage summicrons/elmars/summitars etc

Using and loving both. Favored right now: ZM 2.8/28 and the CV 1.2/35.
