No only Voightlander rangefinders.

Cosina are normally a 3rd tier manufacture supplying to primes like Zeiss for ZM bodies and majority of ZM lenses, partly because this means Zeiss get free use of Ja photo patents as the Ja patents are pooled and Cosina are a Ja company.

The Cosina SLR lenses and DSLR lenses sell really well, and hold 2nd hand value.

Cosina are a JIT small batch company really efficient...

If Stephen Gandy wanted another batch they could make another batch. It is our fault neither Mr K's nor Stephen's.
