There are no modern lenses manufactured by a German company called 
Voigtland. There is, however, a modern line of quality, inexpensive, 
lenses, called  Voigtlander, manufactured by Cosina, a Japanese lens 
manufacturer.
  That is the reality, whether or not one likes it, or thinks that it is 
moral, ethical, fair, or right.

Cheers,

B. D.
