Cosina Voigtländer
Cosina leased the rights to the Voigtländer name, which it has used since 1999. Their new Voigtländer line features high quality and good value, and has been well received.
Ringfoto in Germany also produces some budget-priced items under the Voigtländer name, unrelated to Cosina.

Lenses
Cosina first started producing cameras and lenses under the Voigtländer brand in 1999, when they introduced a screw mount body and lenses. They have since produced a rather prodigious variety of these lenses in M39x26 / Leica screw mount, M mount, Nikon RF mount (some fully usable with Contax RF bodies, and several SLR mounts (particularly M42 and Nikon F). They also produce larger hoods for many of the lenses and accessory viewfinders. Note that while the lenses feature familiar Voigtländer names the optical formulae are all new with the exception of the limited-edition collapsible Heliar.
