		<description><![CDATA[Mamiya displays new prototype medium format digital camera at PIE 2009. At PIE 2009 in Japan, Mamiya unveiled the Mamiya 645DF, a new medium format camera body optimized for digital use only. Taking a page for Hasselblad&#8217;s book, Mamiya engineers have come up with a body designed to take maximum advantage of digital without incorporating compromises for film support. The body incorporates a metal focal plane shutter but can be used with a new series of leaf shutter lenses also introduced at PIE 2009. This means that Leica&#8217;s S2 is no longer the only dual shutter medium format system on the block. The 645DF maintains the modular design preferred by medium format manufacturers, however they are now offering a vertical grip with additional battery capacity. The entire system weighs 1,880 grams (just over 4lbs) before adding a digital back. Not for the faint of arm. The system is compatible with all Mamiya 645 mount lenses (AF and non-AF) plus Hasselblad V-series lenses via an adaptor. Here are the specs: Camera type: 6&#215;4.5cm format, electronically controlled focal plane shutter, TTL multi-mode, AE, AF Single Lens Reflex for digital use. Image size: 56&#215;41.5mm (actual image) Compatible digital backs: Mamiya ZD Back (and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a press release dated July 17, 2008, Cosina Voigtlander introduced (or should I say, reintroduced) a new lens for the Leica M-mount: the CV Ultron 28 mm F2. Based off of the now discontinued Ultron 28/1.9 LTM (Leica Thread Mount), the Ultron 28/2 is available only in black, adds a focusing tab that its predecessor lacked, and uses a 46 mm filter size. Available Specs Focal Length: 28 mm Lens Assembly: 10 Elements in 8 groups Aperture Range: f2 &#8211; f22 Min. Focusing Distance: .7 meters Weight: 244g (8.6 oz) Filter Size: 46 mm Estimated Availability: Mid August 2008 Pricing is not available at this time, however, Stephen Gandy over at Cameraquest is accepting pre-orders with a deposit of $100USD. It is unknown at this time whether the lens will maintain the aspherical lens element of its predecessor or whether the M-mount will bring up the correct framelines on a Leica M8. One would assume that since the Leica M8 is the only digital M-mount rangefinder currently in production that CV would set the mount up correctly for it. Regardless of any potential mount issues, this introduction bodes well for the continued life of the Leica M8 and its [...]]]></description>

They also make their own lenses and are quite good at it since Cosina is the manufacturing partner of Carl Zeiss, AG. While the lion&#8217;s share of lenses they make are for Leica Thread Mount (LTM) and Leica M-mount, they do make a few SLR lenses in Nikon F and Pentax KA mounts. Today I present to you the CV Ultron 40mm f2 SL II. Specs Two surface Aspherical Element lens for maximum correction CPUs for metering compatibility with Nikon or Pentax digital SLRs Compact Pancake lens extends only 24.5mm from lens mount (Nikon AIS) Six elements in five optical groups 9 Aperture blades Size 200 grams, 63mm diameter, 24.5 length from lens mount (AIS) Filter size 52mm Close Up to .45 meter (1:7) without close up, close up range of .38 to .25 meter (1:4) with close up lens Angle of view with film 57 degrees Smallest aperture f/22 Included with the lens is the dome shape lens hood and the close up lens.
