Actually lets think 5 years, Cosina being a bottom line driven company and this whole Voightlander thing is a HOBBY for the CEO. I will go for the NOT being around in 5 years, which will make these CV products pretty worthless or at best a novelty. In that case, they might become expensive collectibles like f1.1 Zunow lenses or the original Voigtländer Noktons (which were sold at stores like the old Peerless in NYC-- in combination with Contax IIas & IIIas-- at a lower price than Sonnars) or Taylor Hobson Cooke Amatols, which I recall being sold REALLY cheaply, by the same (late & lamented) store in combination with Canon VI s. Of course this is just conjecture. I bought my C/V lens (a 15 & a 35/f1.7) to USE. I don't give a rat's a** if the price goes up or down.
