Any thoughts on the Voigtlander coating? I was wondering as well, if the SL
series, like the Apo Lanthar, Heliar et al. have the same coating (if any at
all..); the website doesn't say..

Actually the lens is made by or maybe designed by Cosina. The Vivitar
uses VMC which in my opinion runs from good to
awful. Not usualy up to SMC standards but still better than nothing.
Often much better.

Spurred by Rob Studdert's fantastic results with his 125 f2.5 Voigtlander
Cosina Apo Lanthar, I thought of reading up on what else Voigtlander
offered.
Amongst the cheaper lenses, I noticed the 19-35 3.5-4.5 Ultragon was
coated
with VMV or Voigtlander's own coating www.voigtlander.com. Also, I
understand that the ones rebadged under the Cosina or Vivitar label are
essentially the same lens.
My question is this: Do they all use the same coating? bh and Adorama
don't
seem to stock the Voigtlander version, so I couldn't check if there was a
price difference.
Anyone?
