What new Voigtlander RF or SLR product would you like to see?

If that one was released, it's hot news... I haven't seen it and can't find it on the web...

Cheers,

Juan

I can't find anything on the net either, but there's a full page ad for it in the September edition of the Asahi Camera magazine on sale from today.

A 75mm f1.8 in M-mount .... oh wait, they just released that!

Funny choice for a new lens. What CV cameras have framelines for that? I don't own a single camera I can shoot a 75 on...

Any link to info? It's not on their page yet.

R2 and R3 have clean 75 framelines.

Well, if it has a small size, this one will be cool... Good to hear they're thinking of more lenses... CV rules!

Cheers,

Juan

I thought it was an odd choice for a new lens too. I'll post a scan of the ad tonight.

 

[stupid leica]

man, Jon, take a picture of the ad and put it up. Is the lens small? does it look good? these are important questions

 

[jonmanjiro]

just found this webpage. must have went up within the last hour.

This lens would be ideal for me, if any of my cameras had 75mm frame-lines. How frustrating.

 

[Juan Valdenebro]

Thanks for the link, Jon! Great it's not big! I can't wait to see some shots...

Cheers,

Juan

 

[stupid leica]

man, what is the MFD? This lens could turn out to be a real winner.

the new 75mm lens got me thinking-- it would be really cool to have a camera with automatically selected 28/90 frame lines, but retaining a manual selector to switch between 40/50/75 framelines. Not sure about how one would design this but it would be swell. Failing that it would be nice to have a zi quality long base rangefinder body with 40/75 frame lines even if that meant losing 90 and 50

How about a viewfinder window that "zooms" with the focal length of the lens mounted?

Like my old Canon p&s, you would zoom in and the viewfinder followed the focal length. It worked pretty good.

Then we wouldn't have to fool around with framelines.

An R4a or R4m in Nikon rangefinder S mount. The m mount version is wonderfully useable camera. I would love to use my Nikon lenses with a newer version of this camera. Then my Nikon F would get a run for its money!

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I was wanting to dump all my Nikon RF lens (not really) and get a R4M. I'm up to about 12 lens now though.

Also on the micro 4/3 front, since Cosina is now a 4/3 official member, a series of f2 primes such as 9, 10, 12, 14 would be wonderful. I have the 7-14 and 11-22 and they are wonderfully sharp but I would like a little depth of field control more than the f4 I have now.

a collapsible 75mm or 90mm would be nice too! I dont care about the f value...

 

[serge`vl]

It'll be excellent to re-release 28mm Skopar, 50mm Skopar and 50/1.5 Nokton in M-mount. And all current M-lenses, not only 35/1.2, - in silver finish 🙂.

 

[mgilbuena]

My wish list:

Tri-Elmar or "Dual-Elmar" (24 / 50) lens, 2.8
Improved Nokton 35 1.4 with better center-focus 1.4->4
Pancake 50 1.4 or 2.

All lenses should continue to have ridge inside mount to allow for hand-coding on Leica M8/M9 bodies without wearing off.
