General Notes:
1.) During the 1990s Cosina already produced AF lenses for Voigtländer and a bunch of other companies. Then during the 2000s they became manufacturer for Voigtländer again producing their higher end MF lenses of the SL/SL II series, which were also available for C/EF. Since 2005 they further produced several lines of lenses for Zeiss, including the Ikons, Classic Series (ZE, ZF etc.), Milvus and Otus.
The Cosina AF line was discontinued around 2006. I'm not sure about what exactly was going on with Vitacon. PCI Ltd. still advertized both Vitacon and Cosina lenses at their website a long time after.
