[PaulDalex]

DPreview gives the new of introduction of a Voigtlander pancake 40/2 aspherical in Nikon mount with very scant details:

Any further info or rumor? Will be produced only for Japan or will it reach the rest of the world? I would be interested in knowing something about its performance.

WOW, I no longer have any Nikon bodies, but that little 40mm pancake on a light Nikon body such as the FA would be a sweet SLR combo!

please please please cv come out with your lenses in canon mount, you did it once, please do it again, my canon 50 1.4 is built like a deck of cards and nothing would make me happier then to replace it with a Nokton 50 1.5................................................

Just nail a cheap Nikon SLR body, like an FA or FM2. I got the latter in mint condition here for $150 USD a month or so ago and am loving using the old classic Nikon glass such as the 50/2 Nikkor-S and 105/2,5 Nikkor-P (both for $100 USD total, again from this site), and now I can use something like this!
