網上也有不同的看法供參考 文章引用來源 ======================== "Old" German Voigtlander Vs "New" Japanese Voigtlander: The new Cosina made Voigtlanders have nothing to do with the old German Voigtlanders, other than the name. The original German Voigtlander company, founded in 1756, was bought out and disemboweled by Zeiss in the late 1970's. Not long after, Zeiss stopped its own camera production, unable to compete economically with the Japanese (or was it just Karma's revenge for Voigtlander?). I am not sure how, but rights to the trademarked Voigtlander name eventually escaped Zeiss, to Ringfoto in Germany. Cosina (a Japanese manufacturer), successfully arranged to use the time honored Voigtlander name on their new series of Leica screw mount cameras and lenses.
Cosina's use of the Voigtlander name offended some longtime fans of the long deceased German firm. Disparaging words were more than a few, from some shortsighted "true" Voigtlander diehards. In answer to their cries of Cosina insults, I say "Nonsense." Whatever admiration the old Voigtlander firm deserves, they didn't survive. Dead companies don't make cameras.
While the new "Voigtlander" is hardly the same company as the "old" Voigtlander, the same is certainly true of today's Leica and Rollei companies, after each has been sold and resold a number of times. As far as I am concerned, Cosina is honoring the old German company by keeping its name alive with a new, innovative, quality lineup of cameras and lenses. Ironically, the old Voigtlander firm would have considered itself very fortunate to dominate a segment of 35mm market the way the new Voigtlander does today. ========================
