Black Voigtlander Bessa R3A w/ 40/1.4 Nokton
The new Voigtlander 40/1.4 is the fastest 40mm lens ever made for full frame 35mm photography, by any camera manufacturer.
Available initially only in black Leica M mount, it is rangefinder coupled, 43mm filter size, 7 elements in 6 groups, with a close focus of .7 meter.  Dimensions are 55mm wide x 29.7mm long with a weight of 175 grams.  The LH-6 vented lens hood is sold separately.  Some photogs especially prize the 40mm focal length a providing the best and most natural perspective for 35mm 24x36 format, including noted American photography writer Mike Johnston.     An interesting point is that the lens cap can be attached or removed  with the hood attached.
Cosina introduced TWO versions of the 40/1.4 at Photokina.
The standard "Nokton Classic" version is  multi-coated.   The limited production version for the Japanese home market is the 40/1.4 "Nokton Classic S.C."   This is where it gets confusing.  Cosina already makes multi-coated SC lenses (no periods) in classic Nikon Rangefinder mount.  The 40/1.4 S.C. stands for "Single Coated".   Why you ask?  Because there is more to photographic imagery than super sharpness and the best possible lens test results.  To quote Cosina's President Mr. Kobayashi
"The 40/1.4 SC lens was produced for those who believe single coated lenses give more beautiful imagery in Black and White."
Some Japanese photogs prefer the imagery of single coated lenses to multi-coated lenses.
The 40/1.4 brings up the 50/75 frameline on the Leica M bodies, as did Leica's own 40/2 lenses
for the Leica CL and Minolta CLE.  Mr. K is apparently aiming to offer a faster lens for  CL and CLE owners, as well as a fast 40 for his own Bessa R3A with 1:1 life size finder.     Mounted on a Leica M body, you will have to imagine the 40 frameline outside the 50 frameline. Voigtlander's 40mm auxiliary viewfinder may help you.
