Kosina’s latest offering is reducing things for M-Mount. Voigtländer color-scoper 35 mm f3.5 aspherical vm The manual focus lens is just 14 mm (0.5in) thick, which means that it barely sticks out of the lens mount. Its weight is only 99G (3.5oz). Thinly diluted with 35 mm focal length, light design design makes it an ideal choice for road or travel photography.
While such a thin design allows for a prudent shooting experience, it limits the room for both a focus and aperture ring. As a manual-focus lens, it is important to have an easy way to change the focus. As a result, Kosina opted for a focus liver instead of the ring, making it easier to adjust the focus despite limited real estate.

Cosina still managed to include a filter thread, which led to the lens 34 mm filter. It also comes with a dedicated hood. The retro-dying lens is made of brass and is available in either black or silver finish. Its optical design consists of six elements in four groups. It has 10 aperture blades.
Cosina did not provide an accurate date for availability, but said it would come in March 2025. The expected retail price is listed for silver (102,000 ($ 670 at the time of writing) and for black, 105,000 ($ 689).
