Agreed but it's still not great to have less choices, isn't it ?
Cosina has nothing to do with it. They are merely an outsourced manufacturer. It is the design and QC that counts.
Apple doesn't manufacture their laptops either bu they're still Apples (well, maybe Lemons at times).

And it is the second time Klaus uses the very same metaphor [so to speak] to explain the Cosina-Zeiss-Voightlander issue.
; )
I think they are more than merely an outsourced manufacturer.
Else the marketing stuff on the cosina webpage will have no that much sense. On top of that, I still have the suspicion about who in reality did push to have those Z- series lenses, "zee germans" or mr. Kobayashi Hirofumi.
Just sayin´
