It's the new Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 and I can't believe it's only $379 new. I think it's due to be released this month but I've heard of a few people obtaining one already from Cameraquest. FYI Voigtlander lenses are made by Cosina in Japan who also makes the Zeiss ZF lenses. Typically Voigtlander lenses have had harsh bokeh since they use aspherical elements or are simply too sharp for their own good, but the bokeh on this lens is already getting a lot of praise on the net and people already consider this lens far superior to the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 series because this lens is super sharp wide open.
