Cosina has been busy lately, first the MACRO APO-LANTHAR 65 mm F 2 was released about six months ago and now another interesting launch earlier this month at the CP+ show in Japan this month, and this is especially interesting for me since I was at the Cosina factory last week (planning on posting something on this when I get some more time).
The working distance is 13,7 in vs the old 125mm SL's 14.9. I am glad Cosina went with 110mm.
Interesting that this lens is E-mount only for now, but thats okay since I have a Sony body, but that is a little surprising.
Press release from Cosina, translation by google translator below.

I don't know anything about other rumor sites, but I find the Sony one to have some interesting info at times. Such as a link to this spanish language blog of someone using the 110mm Voigtlaender:

The side-by-side shot with the 110 and 65 is a surprise, I didn't expect that they would be that close.

The 65mm has fairly deeply recessed front lens, the 110mm doesn't. That may explain the large size of the 65mm. If I'm not mistaken the 65mm doesn't have floating elements and the 110mm does, so the helicoid in the 65mm may need to be relatively large.RobertOToole wrote:The side-by-side shot with the 110 and 65 is a surprise, I didn't expect that they would be that close.

Yes, right about the front element on the 65/2.dickb wrote:The 65mm has fairly deeply recessed front lens, the 110mm doesn't. That may explain the large size of the 65mm.

From what I was told the 65 does have a floating element system as does the 110.
This image that shows the layout on the 65. All the elements except from the rear group are all low dispersion. I asked lots of questions about it when I was in Japan. I am in the process of creating a page on the 65/2 (110/2.5) for my site now.
