As you have noticed many manufacturers showed lens prototypes but didn’t share any info on pricing. Well here are some “rumored” prices captured in “unofficial” talks with Sony and Voigtlander managers:
1) SystemKameraForum writes the new 10,5mm f/0.95 MFT lens will be priced at around 1300 Euro.
2) VeryBigLobo claims to know the new FE lens prices:
– 28mm f/2.0 G should cost 499 Euro (February shipment)
– 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss should cost 1399 Euro (March shipment)
– 90mm f/2.8 G macro should cost 999 Euro (March shipment)
– 24-240mm f/3.5-6.4 should cost 1099 Euro (March shipment)
– both converters should cost 229 Euro each (March shipment)
We still don’t know what the Samsung 300mm, The Olympus 300mm and the Fuji 140-400mm could cost…

That 28mm is ridiculous. I see no point having a ff e mount when not partially fast primes are the size of that.
It’s very small. Filter size is only 49mm
I talking about the length!
Look at Nikkor 28/2.0 http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/773127. It’s bigger than Sony 28/2. Same with Zeiss 28/2, Vivitar 28/2, Canon 28/2 http://www.grainlab.com/images/can_fd_2-28ssc_1a.jpg
Well I’m not sure they are any bigger, however they’re not touting themselves as compact systems.
Why isn’t Voigtlander releasing a f2.8 like thishttp://www.georges.com.au/index.php/lenses-digital-slr-cameras/shop-by-lens-mount-digital-slr-cameras/canon-lens-mount-digital-slr-cameras/voigtlander-28mm-f2-8-color-skopar-sl-iin-aspherical-lens-for-canon-eos.html
Those are retrofocal designs for DSLRs which have to be bigger than mirrorless designs since they need to be constructed as a longer focal length lens plus a focal reducer component, because of the larger flange back distance. For a fair comparison, one would need to look at Leica M, Zeiss ZM or Voigtländer LTM or M-Mount lenses.
“Leica M, Zeiss ZM or Voigtländer LTM or M-Mount lenses” – does they have AF? Doesn’t AF need place?
