How are the wide angle lenses that Adorama sells with their name on them? Who makes them? Thanks, John
They are good lenses,(Kobalux made-the 21 is especially good if not very compact). With the new Voigtlander lens line available, they have tough competition now. Adorama has lowered the prices on them, probably to try and price them more in line with the Voigtlander lenses.
Go to the Kobalux site for more details. There is a note in the end-users sales contact section that says that the lenses at Adorama are in fact not the current ones but in fact one generation older. Try CSL imports instead as they have the current versions.
I have a page showing the test results from Pop Photo (FWTW). The Kobalux.com web site has the British Journal of Photography and Shutterbug evaluations.
Sorry; I hit return at the end the sentence too quickly: http://www.dantestella.com/technical/kobalux.html
