Voigtlander announces the new 50mm f/1.2 M-mount lens and it might come for E-mount too…

Today Cosina Japan announced the new Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 M-mount lens. You can use it adapted on any E-mount camera. But the chances are good that Voigtlander will announce a new E-mount version of this lens sometimes in the near future. Would be amazing or not?

This is the google translated press text from the Japanese site:

● Outstanding optical performance, adopting aspheric surfaces on 4 surfaces
By making both lens surfaces of two of the eight lenses aspherical, we realize both high-quality image quality and large aperture.

● Compact style
Reducing the vignetting of the range finder by shortening the total length while having a large aperture of F1.2. Lightweight handling is realized with weight 347 g (excluding accessories).

● Optional bayonet type hood
A beautiful metallic bayonet hood rich in durability is available as an option. You can choose from two types of compact type LH – 8, newly released LH – 10 with higher light shielding ability, you can choose your favorite type.

● Manual focus allowing reliable focusing operation
By adopting a total metal helicoid unit machined and adjusted with high accuracy and high quality grease producing moderate torque, smooth operation feeling is realized. It enables delicate focus adjustment.

Built-in rangefinder system
Seamless focusing near the aperture stop is possible by the high precision range finder interlocking mechanism.

● Full-size image circle
We reserve an image circle of surplus that corresponds to 35 mm size full size. In addition, compared with the interchangeable lens for single lens reflex, it realizes a very compact style.
