Drool... Look at that price, too! Geez, for a 1.4, that's damned cheap. Knowing Voigtlander, it's gonna be a good 'un, too. Cosmetically, it looks surprisingly similar to the 40mm Summicron C that I have on my CL. Looks about the same size, except of course the front element is larger. I ~think~ the filter ring on mine is 39mm - too bad, because my o-fish-al Leica rubber hood just cracked (wore away, which they all do eventually), and I wouldn't mind getting that C-V hood at $45 - but it won't fit. I gotta ask, why to they have that red dot on the lens? Do all C-V lenses have that? Dear me! <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
