9 to 10 elements, 7 groups, 2 aspherical elements.  That's enough to say they're "similar".  If you want to nit-pick, have at it.  😆

The elements are of a totally different shape and sequence, not to mention the concave front element that's also seen on the 35 Summilux and ZM 1,4/35.

All my girlfriends were women, though no two were remotely similar except of course, for being women.

The optical experts 🙂 over at Fred Miranda (actually some very knowledgeable guys) say this lens is very similar to the Nokton f1.2 40 & 50 lenses in design.

Would make sense. Why re-invent the wheel.

IIRC, the 75 APO was based on the 50 Summilux ASPH design.

Why ya think that, I have the 2 and GAS, talk me out of it 

The new line of voigtlanders (40/1.2, 50/1.2, and now the 35/1.2) all share a similar signature (more contrast and sharpness at larger apertures). Many people like the new lenses and that’s great. I, however, don’t find their output nearly as interesting or pleasing. Gone is that bit of dreaminess many of their older designs had.

I’d own and use the 35/1.2 V2 if it wasn’t such a massive thing. I’ll make due with a summilux asph. 🙂

lol lux asph….. make do ??? the lux asph would be even sharper then the CV 35 V3 wouldn't it. I would definitely be happy with a 35 lux asph

The 35 Lux ASPH (non-FLE) is a tricky lens to use because of its focus shift. Don’t care how exquisite the rendering. Had a similar issue with a 35 Summicron ASPH; lovely rendering @ f/2 but the shift on digital M drove me to distraction.
