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

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

Where was that stated?It was already stated that this lens won't be released at photokina...it has been postponed to Spring 2011...which is a real shame, since this is THE lens I was waiting for right now.
How many autofocus lenses has Voigtlander ever made?I'm still on the fence with all this CV talk. I mean they make a lens designed for m4/3.

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!
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.How many autofocus lenses has Voigtlander ever made?
