New Voightlander(Cosina) M42 camera

reno77 · 26th July 2003

Suprising news by Cosina to release a new M42 camera. Maybe they are also avid collectors of M42 lenses and have no bodies to use them on

Price on EBay is US$299.

IMHO, Cosina stuff sucks big time! (I know, YMMV). However, I must salute them for being the epitome of the Best-Copycat spirit. Without them, how can any Leica fans enjoy a 15mm lens for like $600? so.... LONG LIVE COSINA !!!

What about their M42 SL lenses aka the Voigtlander lenses? Do these lenses perform admirably, or are they just rebadged Cosina lenses?
