Nice! I suppose they are showing something (at least mock-ups) at CP+ that starts today. Will be going there on Saturday.
I think I will buy the E-mount 21/3.5 at least assuming it's going to be reasonably priced. I used to have the VM Ultron 21/1.8 but it was a bit heavy and I didn't really need the fast aperture. The 21/4 was always attractive in size but worked badly on Sony A7/A9 series.
Not sure if I need the 110/2.5 as I don't shoot Macro so much and I have several excellent lenses around this focal length, but I'm sure it will have excellent IQ.
Was hoping they'd include a 28mm lens in their next group though.

Hmm. The Zeiss 100/2 makro-planar only goes to 1:2, and it has MFD of 44 cm. Canon's 100mm macro is 1:1 and has a MFD of 30 cm. This Voigt is 10% longer, and has MFD of 35 cm...sounds like it's going to be 1:1.

Good grief, can I just send my credit card to them?!?! Looking forward to seeing the 110 in action. I guess I'll end up with 40, 65, and 110 with a great macro combo. I loved the Zeiss 50 and 100 makro combo I had before.

Japanese translation was saying 1:1 macro. Also CV 125mm has 38cm mfd and Sigma 105mm has 32cm mfd.

Well for me I was resisting the CV 65 f/2 APO. Not sure I can any longer. The CV 40 f/1.2, 65 f/2 APO, and 110 f/2.5 APO seem like a pretty awesome set.

Wow was not expecting that, very awesome! The 110mm will be a hit for sure. The 21mm hopefully is great as well (but why not the 21mm 1.8?), it looks a little odd and has some stiff competition from the Loxia, who knows what the price will be though. And a 50mm 1.2, wonder how it will compare to their 50mm 1.1

The 21/1.8 is over 400g in VM mount, would have probably been around 500g in E-mount so I'm actually happy they went for a smaller and slower lens. I'd guess the 21/3.5 will be similarly priced as 35/1.4 classic, size looks similar too. In Japan the Loxia 21/2.8 is really expensive at around 180K yen Street price including tax so this could be like half of that.
I guess 50/1.2 VM might have a lot in common with 40/1.2. Looks a lot smaller than the 50/1.1.
