Not sure why I'd want a Voigtländer 40/2 A-series manual focus lens ($400 @ CameraQuest.com) over an FA43/1.9 Limited at about the same price. ($370 @ B&H after rebate). It does look like a nice lens, nicer to handle than the DA40. I can see some justification for a 58mm f/1.4, but it's marginal. At least it's a different focal length than usual, and it's a stop and some faster than the DA70.
How they perform is a question mark. The Voigtlander 180/4 APO-Lanthar Close Focus at $355 is a more interesting lens to me. A nice prime in a focal length that is different from what most others are providing.
