Isn't Cosina the maker of those super-cheap, plasticky consumer zooms? I know that this statement is unfair, and that Cosina is doing a good job at promoting a rather affordable rangefinder system. I am going to get a Leica 24mm Elmarit but if could not afford it I'd use my 24mm Nikkor, a beautiful lens, with an adapter, rather than a Cosina 25mm. I also like the Konica RF, which I have seen, but not taken pictures with. But from the people talking here it looks like there is bias towards Voigtlander / Cosina. Just a thought.... - -Julio
