Hello everybody. I hope that I have posted this in the right thread.
I have just seen in a UK dealer's brochure that he is offering for sale high quality Voigtlander manual focus lenses in a variety of fittings including Contax. I have spoken to him and he confirms that this is correct.
This seems an interesting development to me. Maybe it is common knowledge but I hadn't heard of it.
In view of the high regard in which the Cosina/Voigtlander rangefinder system lenses are held, these lenses may be worth considering as alternatives to Zeiss or is that beyond the pale?
The lenses range from 40mm f2 to 180mm f4 but to me the most interesting is the 125mm f2.5. It is not cheap at £499.90 plus £57 for the bayonet lens hood but I expect the price compares well with Zeiss prices.
If anybody has tried these lenses or has heard reviews of them, it would be interesting to know how they perform.
Regards,
John
