Pretty cool. Might be a nice companion to my Zeiss 21/4.5.

A dream come true! Time to start saving!
Funny that just a day or two ago I was thinking that I'd be forced to compromise and get an SLR to get a fast 21

This is great news! Just when I'm in the market for a new 21!

Is it confirmed if it's 35mm format lens or just half-frame?

Had there ever been a half frame lens with M-mount (visible in the picture)? THAT would be a bigger news. |

It is a M-mount lens - thus full frame. Size is the similar to the 35mm f1.2 - not small by any means, but then it is a f1.8 (smaller than the Summilux 21f1.4 - and 1/5 of the price). Front element is slightly larger than the 35f1.2 - (58 mm versus 52 mm). It has been in the works for about 15 month.

I wished for a 21/2 some time ago, but I was thinking more in line of the Zuiko 21/2, which is almost half the weight (250g vs 412g) of this gargantuan.. Not entirely convinced by this Cosina effort, but I'll probably buy one anyways to try out..

Tell us what you think of it Tom. We're sure you've been playing with it a bit at least.  |

Right. That's why you need the zuiko. Go forth.

Nice!
But, i'd love to see a fast 25mm.
Let's wait little more.

Digital antiques? Excuse me while I put my fingers over my RD1s' ears!
Actually, this 21/1.8 is the best news coming out of Photokina for me thus far. And I dont want it for digital. I want it for film.
But we will see how it measures up to the Zeiss 21/2.8 and the Leica 21/3.4. All in the same price range.

This is really wonderful assuming the performance is decent - amazing price for the speed and focal length

Keith,
I am getting an M9 which will make my M8 best suited for normal and tele while the M9 will be used for wide angle lenses. No need to get a CV just because of the cropfactor for the M8. 
I have settled for SLR 21mm lenses as my "RF" lenses. I have the Canon 19/3.5, the Rokkor 21/4, and now the Nikkor 21/4. These classical beauties are great for the Florida sunshine state weather. I use them on my Leicas with adapters. I do not need a fast 21mm lens. My 35/1.4 Summicron will do. |

Taking Deposits for Voigtlander 21/1.8
Initial demand will likely be far beyond production with a back order for months, like the 25/.95.
US price not yet set. Estimated shipping in January or February.
I am taking $100 refundable deposits for Voigtlander 21/1.8 to Stephen@CameraQuest.com
Free Post Office USPS Express Mail shipping.
Thanks,
Stephen |
