point of clarification, please

[back alley]

is it vc = voightlander cosina

or

cv = cosina voightlander

or

it doesn't really matter?

I'll take the third option, Joe as long as we know what we mean.
I suppose it should be CV as it's Voigtlander brand made by Cosina and not the other way round.

 

[dazedgonebye]

CV...I think...plus, it doesn't really matter.

Just look at the name of the forum (C)osina (V)oigtlander 😀

But doesn't matter the other way round but I don't think there's a problem with VC.....

Unless you served in Vietnam.

Viet Cong or Constant Velocity?

ZC? For the Zeiss? Or CZ?

CV, VC is a bravery medal

Wouldn't CZ be Contax Zeiss?

How about a Bradgellina-like thing: Coslander or Voigtina 😀

 

[FrankS]

CZ is Carl Zeiss. Boy this gets confusing!

 

[rbiemer]

CV=Cosina Voightlander and VC= Variable Contrast?

Yes, CV, too many potential unintended consequences with VC

Yes, but then why VC meter? (Take a look on CQ site)
Anyway, really doesn't matter.

Yes, good point.

I vote it doesn't matter. I think we generally know what is meant when one refers to Cosina, Voigtlander, or Bessa....

Sorry to hear you are unwell Joe... It sucks! Get well soon. Recently I was stuck at home for 2wks solid & it was a nightmare. Just try to think of all the sh*t you are missing at work! It made me feel a little better...

I always thought it was CV, but also noticed that the meter is labeled VC. Another vote for it doesn't really matter, but I use the Cosina Voigtlander standard so others (esp. newer rf addicts) know what I'm talking about.

I think either is just a convenient abbreviation partly to clarify it's the modern Voigtlander under discussion, not the "classic" Voigtlander gear. I'll just note that official importer Cameraquest's email discussion group for Cosina-made Voigtlander stuff is CVUG... http://www.cameraquest.com/CosVoigtUser.htm

 

[dostacos]

is it vc = voightlander cosina

or

cv = cosina voightlander

or

it doesn't really matter?

VC=Viet Cong
CV=Curriclum Vitae😱

I guess that does not help does it....😀
