Re: Cosina-Voigtlander joins micro-4/3
On the other hand, it remains to be seen whether the Nokton 25mm f/0.95 an all-manual lens or a dedicated Micro-FourThirds integrated lens with on-body aperture control and lens correction metadata included. The Summilux-D 25mm f/1.4 ASPH is not only one of the most beautiful imaging normal lenses on the format, it autofocuses AND includes chromatic aberration correction metadata (used by Panasonic Lumix G bodies for both in-camera and raw files). Also, the design of the mount and such means that real transmission values of lens openings greater than f/1.4 are likely not significant. I paid $800 (including tax and ship) for my Summilux 25mm f/1.4 ASPH and use it on E-1, L1 and G1 bodies interchangeably. It's about my favorite lens. It's large and heavy, but it always returns the goods. BTW, I'm not knocking Cosina's entry into Micro-FourThirds at all! I think it's a great thing. :-) On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 7:08 AM, Adam Maas a...@mawz.ca wrote: On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 9:56 AM, Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com wrote: On 8/26/2010 4:21 PM, Miserere wrote: It's made sense all along: http://www.olympus-global.com/en/news/2010b/nr100826mfourthirdse.html http://www.dpreview.com/news/1008/10082619cosinamicrofourthirds.asp They'll be releasing the Nokton 25mm f/0.95 next month as their first lens (for a little under $1,200).
