Cosina has announced its new Voigtlander Color Skopar 21mm F3.5 E-mount lens.
This is the eighth Voigtlander lens designed specifically for Sony’s full-frame E-mount support. As with past lenses, the Color Skopar 21mm F3.5 features full EXIF support. In addition to having the extra metadata there, this also means Sony’s in-body image stabilization should work without issue when shooting with the lens.
The lens constructed of nine elements — including one aspherical element and one anomalous partial dispersion element — in eight groups. It has a minimum focusing distance of 20cm/7.87in and uses a ten-blade aperture diaphragm.
The diameter of the lens is 62.8mm/2.47in and the length is 39.9mm/1.57in. It weighs just 230g and features a 52mm filter size.
Below are a collection of sample images provided by Cosina:

The lens is currently available for pre-order and is expected to start shipping in October 2018. Cosina has it listed for ¥85,000, which equates to roughly $ 758 at the current exchange rate. Fred Miranda notes though that the price is suspected to be $ 799 when it lands stateside.
