I followed the Cosina/Heliar story a while ago, but I don't think I ever
saw a definitive answer about availability in the US. What do I need to
do to (a) get one of these lenses, and (b) mount it on my M6?

My understanding is the lenses and accompanying body are going to be
imported into the US by THK, American importer of Tokina, Hoya and Kenko
lenses, filters and accesories. I'm not sure if they have decided yet
whether the US version will be labeled Cosina, Voigtlander, Tokina or
something else altogether, but it will be the same camera and lenses
regardless. I also don't know when they will be available.
