Cosina now have finally announced a retail price for the new Nokton 35/1.2. It’s going to be JPY 135,000, which is ~ USD 1,700 or EUR 1,200. Ouch.

EDIT: Interestingly, this British vendor lists it for GBP 900, which is a “mere” EUR 1,000 or USD 1,400. Maybe there’s hope yet …

Well… not so fast, dude.
The Lens costs GBP 1071 with the UK tax of 19% included – which corresponds to something like 1223 Euro )Aug 2011) So… no difference really.

Just look below (at Robert White) on every product – it says
