I think Toni is referring to the SL II lenses. They all had electronic coupling.
Don't give them ideas... Voigtländer traditionally produced manual large and medium format and especially rangefinder lenses only. After they went bankrupt, the Voigtländer brand was eventually licensed to Cosina, where they came up with the poor idea to sell some of their existing low-cost AF lenses under the newly acquired brand name.
I remember the Ultragon 19-35, a rebranded Cosina lens, not sure if there were other attempts. I tried one, once, many years ago, it felt as cheap as it was and I'm sure it would struggle to get more than 1 or 1.5 stars on our rating scale.
The reputation of the Voigtländer brand was at the very bottom at that time already, after Ringfoto sold some terribly cheap cameras with that name for a while, so those AF lenses didn't do much more damage.
