Lenses
Cosina started producing cameras and lenses under the Voigtländer brand in 1999, when it introduced a new M39 mount body and lenses. It has since produced a prodigious variety of these lenses in M39x26, Leica M mount, Nikon S rangefinder mount (some fully usable with Contax RF bodies), and SLR mounts including M42 and Nikon F. Cosina produces hoods and accessory viewfinders for many of the lenses. Note that while the lenses feature familiar Voigtländer names, the optical formulas are all new.

Presently, Voigtländer lenses are available, or will soon be available in four series: the Sony E-mount, the Leica M-mount, several 35mm SLR mounts (Canon EF-mount, Nikon F-mount, and Pentax K-mount), and several Micro Four Thirds mounts. Legacy lenses for the M39 lens mount, Nikon S-mount and M42 lens mount have been discontinued.

Sony E-mount
In October 2015, three new lenses for the full frame Sony E-mount were announced. These lenses will be available in spring 2016.

Leica M-mount
At present (October 2015), there are 17 lenses for the Leica M-mount, which can all be combined with rangefinder except the 40mm f/2.8 Heliar.

35mm SLR lenses (SL II series)
Voigtländer SL Ⅱ lenses are CPU-enabled manual-focus designs available in Nikon AI-P (AI-S with Program), Pentax K-A and Canon EF mounts. The Nikon term for such a design is AI-P, although these lenses are not designated as such. The CPU of SL II lenses enables full compatibility (except for autofocus) with the full range of AF Nikon SLR cameras.

The Nikon AI-P versions enable full compatibility (except for autofocus) with all Nikon AF SLRs, similar to the AI-P manual-focus lenses Nikon has produced in the past. All metering patterns in 2-D mode, all program modes, and viewfinder focus indicators are available.

Micro Four Thirds
On August 26, 2010, Cosina joined the Micro Four Thirds Standard Group and introduced the following lenses:

SL series
Voigtländer SL lenses are manual-focus designs. They were sold in a variety of mounts: Nikon AI-S, Canon FD, Pentax K, M42, Minolta SR, Contax/Yashica MM, and Olympus OM. Some lenses were also available in Canon EF- and Minolta A-mount, although without autofocus. They were produced for a short time, and discontinued when Cosina introduced its Carl Zeiss "Z" series lenses. Some SL lenses are now sought after as collectors' items. For example, the Macro APO-Lanthar 125mm f/2.5 is known for its well-corrected optical performance and, since 2010, copies have been sold for around $2,000, which is many times its original retail price of $600.
