The lens has since been discontinued, that's why you'll only see a FX review, but not also one on the 5D Mark II.

Just checked the North American distributor and they do have it as discontinued. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> But it seems there is a 28/2.8 and 75/1.8 on the way in the SLII series.

Yes, the German site still lists it as current, but Cosina (the main site in Japan) as discontinued:

Here is the SLII page: http://cameraquest.com/Voigt_SL2.htm Highlights (news to me): - The 20mm, 40mm and 58mm lenses are getting revised (SLII N) with metal focusing barrels similar to the M-mount lenses and yellow distance scale numbers(IMHO, ugly compared to the silver knurled SL or the black rubber SLII barrels), compare: Probably Zeiss complained that the SLII lenses looked to similar to their ZK lenses. - 28mm lens mentioned (between the 20mm and 40mm lenses). - 75mm f/1.8 lens - 90mm f/3.5 discontinued <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Also, I didn't know about this mFT, maybe it's old news: http://www.cameraquest.com/voigt_m43_17.htm
