Actually, this is a situation where Stephen Gandy is
uncharacteristically engaging in the sort speculation that Pål
Jensen has become famous for. We are supposed to beleive some
unnamed double secret sources. We are also supposed to beleive that
Cosina made these lenses on the basis of their supposed similarity
to Cosina's Voigtlander lenses, when anyone who has seen or used
both will see no such similarity. It also brings up a question. If
Cosina made Pentax 77/1.8, why would they go through the trouble of
designing and developing a 75/2.5 at nearly the same time? Aside
from similar focal length, these two lenses share very little.
