I have some concerns and suggestions about this review.
You mention that this version of the lens is different, "Please note that it is very different to the Hyperprime 50mm f/0.95 that has already been available for MFT for around 1000$"--- How so? It would be nice if the article briefly mentioned major differences.
Not to cause an uproar, but didn't the Nex-7 have corner softness issues when tested before. The Voigtlander 75mm seems to do alright, but I thought there was a suspicion concerning this lens. In consideration of this might it have been better to have tested it on a different camera. Such as a MFT, which this site's review section seems to be on a diet. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

This isn't your fault, but why would they make a cine lens in m mount, is there any m mount camera out there that shoots video? Not to my knowledge at least.
On that note, if a lens is a cine lens (or at least manual focus only) it might be beneficiary to test breathing of the lens. Some lenses tends to zoom slightly when pulling focus, making them awful for some work. This is a major concern to cinematography and something those tens-of-thousand dollar lenses claim to have well controlled.
Again, not trying to complain, thanks for all the great reviews. I love the classic lenses and the look beyond mainstream- keep it up! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
