    That's another reason for it to not happen and the lens to stop at 150-180. Canon will want it's own f2.0 trinity, at this point it's...

    150/2 = 75 200/2.8 = 71.4 200/2 = 100 There's a big difference in the amount of glass needed to achieve 200/2 compared to 150/2 (the...

    I can't see this happening if they want to compete against the 50-150 f2.0 from Sony which is way less expensive.

    It would cost at least as much as the 100-300 f/2.8 but probably 10-15% more

    The only thing I can say with any certainty is what is likely to cause me to pull out my credit card and spend my money. Think of my...

    And, I would add that the Nikon F2 was a much better camera than the Leicaflex SL & SL2. I owned all 3. The important Leicaflex...

    This lens is tempting. I have the Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f/1.5 and love it. The build quality makes it a pleasure to use, image quality...

    I want world peace. I give that an equal chance. Maybe a bit better.
  • Sporgon
    Yes, just like Sony the Germans couldn’t keep up with slr developments ;) In this modern age the Leica SL mount is competitive, but the...

    I still own a Voigtländer Avus (named after a German racetrack). Never used it (film plates!), but I truly like the way it was built...
  • B
    He did say 70-200 f/1.4 (or f/2) The front element would have to be the same size as a 400 f/2.8. I want a longer sibling to the 20-50...

    I had a secondhand Voigtlander Bessa folding 120 camera when I was a schoolboy. The German cameras cost a fortune then. The bellows on...
  • Sporgon
    Indeed, that’s why it’s retailing at £499 instead of £4999 !

    The Voigtländer website clearly says that focus AND aperture are indeed manual. So, I was wrong! :)
  • AlanF
    As presumably many know, it's designed and made in Japan by Cosina who have just licensed the Voigtlander name and they simply use it...
  • Sporgon
    I just checked, and the lens aperture has ten blades, so I’m sure it is manual. Auto aperture lenses have a smaller number of blades due...
  • Sporgon
    I’ve not used any of the Voigtlander RF lenses yet, but my understanding is that despite the contacts and communication with the camera...
  • neuroanatomist
    A 70-200/2 would likely be around $10K, not really a threat at all. Exactly like one can do with the 100-300/2.8.
