Cosina Voigtländer refers to photographic products manufactured by Cosina under the Voigtländer name since 1999. Cosina leases rights to the Voigtländer name from Ringfoto. Cosina Voigtländer products have included 35mm film SLR and rangefinder camera bodies, and lenses for the M39 lens mount (Leica screw mount), M42 lens mount, Leica M mount, and other lens mounts.

Lenses

Cosina started producing cameras and lenses under the Voigtländer brand in 1999, when it introduced a new M39 mount body and lenses. It has since produced a prodigious variety of these lenses in M39x26, Leica M mount, Nikon S rangefinder mount (some fully usable with Contax RF bodies), and SLR mounts including M42 and Nikon F. Cosina produces hoods and accessory viewfinders for many of the lenses. Note that while the lenses feature familiar Voigtländer names, the optical formulas are all new.

Presently, Voigtländer lenses are available, or will soon be available in four series: the E-mount series for Sony E-mount, the VM series for Leica M-mount, the SL and SL II series for several 35mm single-lens reflex camera mounts (Canon EF-mount, Nikon F-mount, and Pentax K-mount), and the MFT series for the Micro Four Thirds mount. Legacy lenses for the M39 lens mount, Nikon S-mount and M42 lens mount have been discontinued.

Sony E-mount

In October 2015, three new lenses for the full frame Sony E-mount were announced. These lenses will be available in spring 2016.

35mm SLR lenses (SL II series)

Voigtländer SL Ⅱ lenses are CPU-enabled manual-focus designs available in Nikon AI-P (AI-S with Program), Pentax K-A and Canon EF mounts. The Nikon term for such a design is AI-P, although these lenses are not designated as such. The CPU of SL II lenses enables full compatibility (except for autofocus) with the full range of AF Nikon SLR cameras.

The Nikon AI-P versions enable full compatibility (except for autofocus) with all Nikon AF SLRs, similar to the AI-P manual-focus lenses Nikon has produced in the past. All metering patterns in 2-D mode, all program modes, and viewfinder focus indicators are available.
