I don't get what they are thinking here. There are plenty of 50mm options already. How about a small 180mm/200mm or 300mm prime. Why not fill a hole?
This is a VM lens. A 180/200 or 300 doesn't make much sense on a Leica M camera. I would like to see them develop a 90 or a 135, however, that would make a lot more sense on a Leica M camera.
Well aware of what a VM is. I could care less about Leica. I'm talking about spending resources on a much larger market like Sony (this is a Sony forum not Leica) where they would make sense and sell many more than this lens.
Yeah, but don't you think those lenses would be Sony E mount lenses and not VM lenses? A VM lens is for Leica M and that long of lens doesn't really make sense for Leica M. If Voigtlander were to make a 180/200mm or 300mm I would think they would make it for Sony E mount and not for Leica M. Simply put even another 50mm lens probably makes a lot more sense for Lecia M than long lenses that are well suited for the Leica M camera.
