Cosina Affiliates with the Micro Four Thirds Consortium
Cosina has revealed it has joined the Micro Four Thirds system standard along with the Olympus and
Panasonic companies. Photographers will now have the
ability to use an extensive selection of Cosina and Voigtländer lens brands with their Micro Four Thirds cameras and not require adapters. Coinciding with this public statement, Cosina has released the
Voigtlander Nokton
25mm f/.95 lens conforming to the Four Thirds standard.
In 1999
Cosina first began manufacturing Voigtländer branded lenses when it introduced the 15mm and 25mm screw mount lenses fitting the Bessa L. At the time it was announced, the 15mm lens was quite a bit smaller than any other similar length
SLR lens, and an a way lss expensive than any compact substitute for a viewfinder or any
rangefinder camera. Cosina has since manufactured an amazing assortment of these compact lenses for Leica screw mount, Leica M, Nikon S (some fully compatible with Contax camera bodies), and a number of SLR mounts (in particular,
M42 mount and
Nikon F mount). It also manufactures larger lens hoods for many of these lenses plus accessory viewfinders. Although the lenses feature the familiar
Voigtländer label, the optical
formulas are brand new. Cosina also makes lenses with the
Zeiss Brand.
