It is already being advertised in the February issue of the Asahi Camera in Japan. The aux. finder looks just like the old 90 finder from Leica. The 21/4 which couples to the rangefinder is coming later this spring (most likely April/May) and will cost around US$ 550 with the brightline finder. I have shot with this lens and it is sharp! According to Mr Kobyashi, President of Cosina, it is a sharper lens than the Biogon 21/4,5 — and he should know as he has several of these! Cosina/Voigtlander is staggering the releases for new products so not to overwhelm the market. There is also the 28/1,9 Asph making it's appearance later this spring as well as some other nifty stuff! Tom A
