Over at the rumor site there's a page with an A7RIII review and a link to a M mount Voigtlander 50mm f1.2 review...
A7RIII review...
https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sony-tidbits-927/#disqus_thread
I watched the A7RIII review and was a bit phased by her criticism of the number of menu options. This to me is a bit bizarre as surely it's good to have more menu options as that makes the kit more configurable and there is the option of spending an hour going through the menu and turning off or ignoring anything you don't like or wont use. There's also the quick menu thingy for the options you'll use the most... This is one area I would improve by allowing any menu item to be put in there.
I do think that criticising the kit for having too many menu items is a bit... strange.

"So all in all it was a joy using and reviewing this lens and currently there are only 2 reasons I am not buying it:
1. It doesn’t really fit my kit at the moment (21/35/85 usually).
2. I would be tempted to wait for the E-mount version we already saw prototypes of.
But if you prefer using M-mount lenses anyway (I know some of you do), you are on a Kolari modded E-mount camera or you are not as patient as I am, I see no reason not to get it (if you are in the market for a lens like this).
Personally I prefer it over all the other small, fast and manual focus 50s currently available."
If looking at this I think I'd wait for the e mount version to avoid some of the possible issues with this M mount one like field curvature but I suppose the M mount one is better if you want to keep the option of using it on other non Sony cameras.
I'm pretty sure this will easily outperform my old Minolta Rokkor 50mm f1.2 but the Rokkor pictures could still have some retro charm
