Hi
Has anyone tried out the new Cosina Pancake lenses: 35 mm-f2.5? They are supposed to be sharp.

G, just when I was thinking about getting one they went out of stock at CameraQuest. I think their last price there was $220 or so and that definitely called my attention...
Yes I know I can still find them and even cheaper second hand, but somehow my interest in that lens faded away 🙂
It's supposed to be on par with the 35 2.4 classic, so you may check for reviews for that one.
Best !

Very confused
According to:
http://www.cameraquest.com/voigtlen.htm
The original pancake is/was optically the same as the classic. The new pancake has an M mount. Not sure if the optics have changed.
Cheers!

The new pancake is a new design.

Re: cosina pancakes
Do you mean the old the screw mount (39mm LTM) or the new M mount?
I know the new M mount is a completely new design.
However if you mean the older CV 35mm 2.5 Pancake... I own one and say it gives me great results. Nice punchy colour contrast with good bokeh and some say that this lens suffers from barrel distortion, I haven't seen any yet.

Sorry to be looking at such an old thread, but the Voigtlander 35mm f/2.5 P (LTM) does not seem to appear very often. It's usually the 35mm f/2.5 Classic (LTM) or the 35mm f/2.5 PII (M mount).
Was it such an unpopular lens? Does anyone own this lens?
Cheers,

Cheers,
only the new lens barrel. it's the same optics as the previous two screw mount lenses.
