YES! I LOVE THEM.

CMC-6U. I have a pair that are sequential Serial, going into 2 sequential Martech MSS-10.

I love those Mics, there's a Ridiculous amount of Clarity. Like unreal. Now there's another BIG problem with them, they are SO sensitive to Low End that you really have to either have a double sided pop filter, or just put 2 together, other wise you'll have some Pretty bad vocal takes.

I use them on Guitar too. Can't say enough good things about those mics.

If you're looking to get some, I might be able to sale you mine, as I need some other gear. Or trade!

Yes, they can work beautifully for vocals. I've preferred the MK21 and MK4 capsules.

It is unorthodox, but I've heard from more than a few seasoned folks that some of their favourite recordings made use of Schoeps for voice.

I have the CMC-5 with MK21 also sequential. I have tried them on vocal and I was suprised I just wanted others to give their opinion.

I have been using a marek tube (V2) on my vocal but I no longer have access to this mic.

I have thought about trying to buy a Pearlman TM1 to replace the marek but I would love to save up and buy the marek but it is 5K and this may take some time. So I may plan on using the Schoeps for now and save for the Marek.

I have had good luck with the Mk4's. Occasionally I run a Mk4/Mk8 together in a M/S array. Both work nicely, and I can fiddle with the M/S in post, too.

Cheers
