Voigtländer 28mm f/2.8 Color Skopar Pancake Lens in EF Mount

[wickidwombat]

Ok...this is disappointing... I wrote to Voigtlander t o inquire about the new 28mm. Their response contained the following info:

"New SLII-N Color Skopar f2.8/28mm with Canon EOS and Nikon AI-S mount will
launch soon.
The first delivery of this lens will be end of July / beginning of August.
Lens with Canon mount does not have CPU integrated, only with Nikon AI-S
mount.".

I am definitely bummed that there is no CPU coupling for the lens. I would not purchase a manual focus lens without CPU coupling...ESPECIALLY in that price range. Curious that they hook up the Nikon, but not the Canon?????

probably because the 20mm the canon got hooked up and the nikon didnt
bummer really because the 20mm is a very nice little package
and now i have the 40mm pancake too i can carry the 20mm and the 40mm with the 85mm as a very light walk around kit that give me great coverage and takes very little room i still love the 16-35 II though
