My favourite of the voitglander LTMs has to be the 25/4 Snapshot Skopar hands down. It's got the "biogon" look (because it is one) and while being very sharp and free of any distortion it renders in a pleasing way reminiscent of older glass.
Runner up would be the 35/2.5 I guess. If you can find a non-clouded-over copy, which seems to be quite difficult these days, sadly.

Have to say the 25/4 (though mine is the M-mount) is my favourite as well. Such a stellar little lens
Interesting to read your comment about the 35/2.5 going cloudy. I've owned 3 copies in LTM that were all crystal clear.

Interesting you mention it, my LTM copy was advertised as having "slight fog" but I could never see any looking through the glass. How do you know if it's cloudy? Are there easily identified effects on the image?
I wonder why this lens seems to have higher instances of this happening than other CV lenses? A particular glue holding elements together, or something?

One of my great favorites is the Nokton 50mm f1.1.
