The Voigtlander (Cosina) 75/2.5 Color Heliar SL lens is nice, but not a
superior replacement for a Zuiko 85/2. Given that the Voigtlander is
~$400-450 at B&H in LTM mount, I wouldn't expect it to be a lot less in the
SLR mounts (i.e., Nikon AIS, Minolta MD, Canon FD, Pentax K & screwmount,
Contax/Yashica, and OM)
At http://www.cosina.co.jp/75sl/ it's listed at Yen 50,000, the same prices
as the LTM lens.
Is there a reason that you really want this lens? other than equipment
lust, that is.

I remember seeing a short thread a few months ago about the 75mm Heliar
lens when it was firat introduced. I seem to recall that the overall
performance of the lens wasn't all that great, at not up to to Zuiko
statndards. I've searched the archives but couldn't find the thread.
Does this jog anyone else's brain cells?
