If anything, the Cosina is more uncommon in the U.S. Incidently, I have seen the black Voightlander 15mm offered for sale for as much as $530 here in the U.S. (and as cheap as $450). Dr. Yao will sell you the Cosina version for $370. His LTM adapter is quite a bit cheaper, too. I assume similar savings are possible on the other focal lengths. The difference is a lot to pay for the meaningless "Voigtlander" name . . . Bob (squeezes a dollar pretty tight before he lets it fly) McEowen
