If I visit the Photokina 2010, would I be able to buy one?

If they would bring a working sample....
hmmm...but there would be a lot more stalls and more interesting things to look at at Photokina, I would presume.
Sony might even have a prototype 3D lens for their NEX.

A real shame, indeed!
What is the rush on the 3D lens?

Don, May be they will unveil an attachment for the EVF and the LCD so that stereo images can be framed before a shot is taken?

.....and I am thinking that the Hassy hood would be a great attachment at this point...just to keep things in perspective.
This format is starting to bother me. I like AF dedicated glass. I just don't see anyone really committing to m4/3 to keep it alive for the long run.
There's talk about the 14mm, I've heard a 12mm....dunno.
I'm in it because I love the IQ and form/size factor but I'm starting to loose faith.
I'm out of the Oly camp and in to the G2 and GF1 house, the absence of primes is having a negative effect on my psyche.

I was thinking more in lines of Exakta's Stereflex (http://captjack.exaktaphile.com/SPECIAL FINDERS PAGE.htm). :ROTFL:
Olympus are a great company. When it comes to cameras, they have slowed down dramatically.

Well, it is interesting to see Voigtlander join the m4/3rds consortium or whatever it is - maybe the future is brighter than we think?

I'm still on the fence with all this CV talk. I mean they make a lens designed for m4/3. That's great, it's sharp, it's fast but for focusing...it's just a stupid lens. Why not just make it have AF? I don't think that's to much to ask for a lens that's gonna sell for around $1000.00 USD.
If OLY and Panny can make it work even in a complex zoom, why can't they in a fixed focal length.
Nah, they won't get any cash from me and I'm sure many are thinking the same way. I have many of their lenses in M mount but in this format...until they really commit....later!

How many autofocus lenses has Voigtlander ever made?
Well, the lenses are made by Cosina and they have made several AF lenses for SLRs, so it should be possible for them to make a micro43 AF lens I would think. Voigtlander is just the brand they use for their "retro" RF and SLR stuff and now also for micro43.

Don, I would think it will be impossible to make 0.95 lens that would CDAF successfully. As is, the Pana 20/1.7 struggles and moans (which have been recorded).
To put the lens' rumored price in perspective, try one of the "lens babies". A little piece of rubber contraption that costs too much. In comparison, any real lens is worth their asking price.
I have no doubt that the Cosina 25/0.95 is real lens and, I am positive, unlike the zoomz that Olympus churn out, they would be light proofed adequately.

Time to think about the Ricoh GXR. I have the E-P2 and a couple of G1s, but my "goto" choice is the Ricoh
I think that they will bring out a module for attaching legacy lenses.

Allright everyone...
I think CV could make a dedicated lens easily enough.
They probably are planning a few designs not just the high speed 25mm.
For a Grand or more it should be a complete lens. I like their glass on my Leicas but not interested in what their doing now.
It looks like laziness and gouging users for high priced products that don't provide the natural options that should be there.
Keith,
Yes, the Ricoh is a strong sleeping contender.
No one pays attention to the user as they. The interface on their cameras is great....
I'm looking I tell ya... I'm looking!

Vivek, you can play with ours (just arrived!) if i can convince Kevin to go :salute:
as i am still getting a handle on the E-1, he was the first to brave the streets with it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinparis2007/tags/250mmf14/
it really is a stunning lens!

afraid my other half got excited and a bit dyslexic ( why is that such a hard word to spell? )
Anyway she has just bought an e-1 and wanted a Leica lens for it so we are now the proud owner of a Panaleica 25/1.4.... not a 14/2.5
nice lens though
