I have only used 2 Voigtl�nder lenses - 4.5/15 mm and 1.7/35 mm - and they are good. The R body seems to be priced at about 900 USD - cheap only when compared with Leica. The camera and lenses are indeed made by Cosina in Japan. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://personal.inet.fi/private/raimo.korhonen
