The Cosina / Voigtländer info that has been added is nice and useful, but imho it would be better placed in the [[Voigtländer]] page, that only contains a very basic chronology, or the [[Cosina]] page, that contains some very basic information, and is quite insufficient. We could also create a specific Cosina Voigtländer page if desired. --[[User:Rebollo fr|Rebollo fr]] 04:39, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

:I mostly agree, but I'd have a strong preference for [[Cosina]]. While Cosina is of course using the "Voigtländer" name legitimately, that's all it is: the use of a name. (Or, since we're dealing in lenses here, the arbitrary/commercial use of names, plural.) Whatever could be said about the new Cosina-made Zeiss lenses, these "Voigtländer" lenses are made and designed by Cosina, and it seems bizarre to add info about them to the page on a company that exists only in name. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 09:27, 9 May 2006 (EDT)
