I am a happy owner of this lens. It stays on my camera most all the time now. It does not collapse much, but every bit helps. I'm still looking for that rangefinder/lens combo that will let me carry without much of a camera bag.
Most of my shots have then lens stopped down close to or on F/2:

Wow, what a beauty this little lens is. The one I bought from Stephen just arrived today.

The last I checked, Photo Village had lowered the price to $399. I'm a bit peeved since I paid $550. It's a sweet lens though and worth every penny.

Amos, I am sure you'll love this lens even more when you see the results.
I don't know why people are not more enthusiastic about this lens. Maybe it is because it is a "Limited Edition" normally sold only as a kit with the R2M/R3M. That's a shame, because it has superb resolution, nice bokeh, great color rendition and the best built quality of the whole Cosina/Voiglander range (comparable to the lenses built for Zeiss). Being collapsible makes it a perfect pocketable lens for everyday use.
Cheers,
Abbazz

Yup, that's ($399) what I paid Stephen for it. He's now got it on sale too. In fact there's currently a free shipping deal if you indicate your RFF ID.
Even the lens hood is impressive. Looks to be wonderfully made.
I was worried at first if it might be difficult for me to handle because I've got large hands. However, it's certainly no worse than the 40mm/1.4, and perhaps even slightly easier to handle.

Just found one. Looking forward to using it on my NEX.
It´s a bit odd that the only Voigtlander 50mm lens left is the "cyclops" 50/1.1. And no, I dont count the ZMs as "Voigtländer".

I guess I'm missing something the only one I see is the Nickle version for $799. on CQ. And, Photo Village doesn't answer the phone nor is the web site running?
