Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

[Ghostbuggy]

Cosina has announced two new lenses designed for Fujifilms X-Mount under their Voigtländer brand in order to extent the already existing trio.

First there is another 50'ish equiv. lens with the Nokton 35mm f0.9 lens. It is quite a bit bulkier and heavier than the 35mm f1.2 weighting 492gr, almost 300gr more than the f1.2 Nokton. It comes with a lens hood included.

The next lens is a pancake styled 40'ish equiv. lens with the Ultron 27mm f2. Weighting just 120gr and a length of just 23,5mm this new Ultron is perfect for a compact body like an X-E. It doesn't come with a lens hood.

Like all previous X-Mount Voigtländer lenses, both feature electronic contacts in order to communicate with the camera.

Depending on what directions things go with my gear, if the DoF scale is accurate so I can use it for hyperfocal and zone focus, if the optics are pleasing, I might be interested in that little 27/2.

All of the lenses in that release look good.

I still haven't gotten the Nokton 23mm f1.2 I have been eyeing ever since it got released. Personally I am not too interested in the new 35 f0.9 due to the weight, but I am sure it will be an interesting lens. So far all of the Voigtländer X-Mount lenses have a great reputation, even though most are fairly "dreamy" wide open and only get sharper from f1.8 onwards.

The 27mm actually looks more interesting, I can see it attached to my X-Pro3 as an ultra compact solution.

is anyone using the current X mount Voigts? they seem to get few, and mixed, reviews.

Certainly good to see Cosina being active on the lenses front for mirrorless cameras. For me personally it's a bit saddening that they didn't offer anything new for Sony E-mount. And no, I won't adapt lenses with Leica M bayonet (VM in Cosina speak): their design is not optimized for the Sony sensor with its thicker glass covers than the sensors in Leica M cameras, and I won't spend a lot of money on lenses that don't transfer EXIF data to the camera, thank you very much.

Cosina's product policy seems very odd to me, by the way: for each lens mount they offer different lens types. You'd think they'd capitalize on their development cost by offering the same optical and, in some cases, mechanical design in as many mounts as possible.

I'm sure it's a fantastic lens, but pitching it against Fuji's own 27mm which is also compact and AF, seems to be a big call.
