Both the 28/1.9 and the 35/1.7 are now discontinued. Has anyone heard anything about Cosina's plans on whether or not they will be updated?

My statement from a few days ago

Who knows? Now that I opened my mouth let's hope an announcement shortly follows to prove me a fool.

The prophet is proved a fool!!!🙂

.... and it's tested by Reid Reviews and found to best the Noctilux in every measurable peformance parameter. Still, Camera Quest reduces the price to $1,200 within months, and Hong Kong auction sites are selling it for less than $1,000.

Attracted by the bargain prices, members of the RFF sell off their FSU lenses and Franklin Mint collectibles to raise funds and snap up the CV lens. The posted pics reveal a lens that is a marvel of modern engineering: Shockingly sharp wide open, absolutely free from flare, and no nausea-inducing 'bokeh.' Still, the Noctilux-club remains unconvinced. They give up posting pics and start using language normally heard only at wine-tastings to describe what makes the Noctilux special.

Voigtlander-Cosina goes bankrupt shortly thereafter. Leica raises the MSRP of the Noctiliux to $11,789 and sells out in 10 minutes.

Sorry to needlessly bump this thread (I came across it while looking up stuff about the Kodak Ektra), but you, my friend, are a prophet.

They need to make a fast 25mm.

Something wider than the CV 12mm 5.6.... and NOT a fisheye

Actually, I'm quite fond of fisheyes. I'd love one for my M...
