I read on the Camera Quest site that Voightlander has introduced a new 21mm for the Nikon (?) rangefinder. I saw no mention of it being offered for the LTM. Has anyone heard whether the new V21 lens will be offered for Leica users?

According to Gandy, the 21mm will be available in LTM at the same time as the Nikon mount.

All that I have heard and read indicates that it will be availalbe in LTM. There are also rumours of some of the Cosina lenses coming in a M mount soon as well. We will have to wait and see.

Thanks for the info.

Just a brief follow up: I was re-reading Gandy's site where he states that the new 21 (and other WA lenses for the Nikon RF) will be rangefinder-coupled, unlike the current 15mm and 24mm Voightlanders in LTM. I wonder if the new LTM 21mm will also be rangefinder-coupled?
