Prices have been released in the USA and UK for a pair of new Voigtlander lenses designed for M mount rangefinder cameras. Both the Color-Skopar 21mm f/3. 5 VM Aspherical Vintage Line and the Ultron 35mm f/2 VM Aspherical Vintage Line will cost $799/ The aim of the lenses is to provide compact and high quality optics in a retro style that conjures the essence of the 1950s.
The company says it targeted more moderate maximum apertures so that it could keep the lenses small, but also because very wide apertures are less practical when using rangefinders, especially when the subject isn’t central or is moving in the frame.
There is a sample gallery of images taken with the lenses in DPReview's original news article, and there’s more information in the Voigtlander website.
