News from Cosina
Cosina has just introuduced to the public a "new and improved" revised version of their super-fast normal
prime for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It's the Voigtländer Nokton 25mm F:0.95
Type II and as a new feature, it has an aperture ring mechanism that ca be switched between
clicked and clickless operation, a desirable feature for movie shooters.
The optics are the same as the previous model, but the updated lens is a little bit heavier and
has a larger diameter. It should be available in March.
0.95 is as fast as it gets. Once and for a very brief period of time I had used a Canon 50 mm 0.95 with a Leica M adapter it was big, impressive and cool but you had to shoot with the light totally behind you otherwise the flare was overwhelming. I returned it to Camera Barn and stuck with my 50mm Summicron f 1:2, a true gem. Naturally with the improvements in optical glass, this lens will fare better. We hope so.
