펀리더에서 콘탁스 RF 렌즈들의 컨버전 키트를 내놓았었죠.

45미리 컨버전 키트가 유명하긴 한데 사실 35미리가 최초였고 이번에 두번째 버전이 나오나 봅니다.

이번 키트가 잘되면 45미리도 두번째 버전이 나오겠군요.

mr. ding 스튜디오가 컨버전 키트도 만들지만 렌즈도 꽤 잘 만들더군요.

앞으로 주목해 볼 만 할 것 같습니다.

다음 출시 제품은 : 아마도 Leica Q3 Monochrome 그리고 Leica SL3 Reporter 가 될 것

After the Leica M EV1 announcement, here is an updated list/recap of expected/rumored Leica cameras and lenses (see all previous reports here):

이미 예전부터 신제품의 출시 예정일을 추정하곤 했는데, 추측대로 11월에는 Q3 모노크롬과 SL3 리포터가 될 가능성이 높아보입니다.

그리고 내년엔 이어서 M12, 녹티룩스 35.2 정도가 예측되고 있고, 저 개인적으로 기대하는 미러리스 중형도 내년에 출시 가능성이 있다고 하는군요.

일단 11월에 두가지 제품이 등장하는지 지켜봐야 겠습니다~

Viltrox L-mount 제품군은 2026년에 등장할 듯

Viltrox has done an Ask me anything on Reddit. When asked about when the first L-mount lenses will arrive they wrote this:

The earliest release will likely be next year, our R&D team is actively working on it.

Reddit 에서 무엇이든 물어보세요 코너가 있나봅니다.

빌트록스가 이 코너에서 L마운트 렌즈에 대한 질문을 받았는데 아마도 내년도에 첫 선을 보일 것 같다고 했나보네요.

올해 뭔가 출시해줄거라 기대했는데, 아마도 내년을 기약해야 하나봅니다.

16 1.8 렌즈나 28 4.5 렌즈가 될거라 했는데.. 두 렌즈 중 하나겠죠.

일단 빌트록스는 내년을 기약하기로..

Pixii 에서 새로운 M 마운트 카메라 출시 루머

Pixii is teasing a new camera under the slogan “We invent the future” – here is a better view:


The first thing that you notice is that the top LCD screen that was present in previous Pixii Max models is now gone:


Could that be a new, cheaper, and lighter version of the Pixii camera? The current Pixii Max is now selling for $4,999 – a hefty price tag, but still half the price of the Leica M11.

Pixii currently offers several models for sale in the US. Previous coverage can be found here:

한동안 잠잠했던 픽시에서 새로운 카메라를 내놓으려나봅니다. 뭔가 티저가 공개됐나본데요.

상단부 액정이 사라진 것 같다는 군요. 조금 더 가벼우면서 저렴한 버전을 기대하는 것 같은데 글쎄요..

픽시가 국내에 어필하지 못한건 과한? 가격 탓인 것 같은데.. 절반이 아니라 M 의 1/4 정도 가격은 되야 팔리지 않을런지..

그래도 최근부터는 풀프레임으로 제작되기 시작했으니 이제 제대로 의미있는 RF카메라가 된 셈인데 센서와 이미지 프로세싱은 나름 인정받은 브랜드이니 가격만 저렴해지면 될 것 같습니다 ㅋㅋ

Artralab 에서 28mm f/2.8 출시 예정 (M-mount)

 


Artralab is teasing a new 28mm f/2.8 lens for Leica M-mount. Artralab already has several lenses for M-mount (see previous coverage) that can be purchased from B&H Photo and Amazon.

Additional information on the upcoming Artralab 28mm f/2.8 lens:

I still remember that at first, we outlined the shape of this lens bit by bit on the computer screen. Back then, there was only one thought in our minds: to make Artra not only live up to the heritage of Leica but also become a “little happiness” for photographers to ignite their creative desire. Over the past two years, we have been constantly refining it and made several prototypes. During the process, problems popped up one after another, but we worked closely with the engineers, adjusting the mechanical design over and over again to overcome different difficulties.

Through such repeated attempts, we finally found the right form — the three “28s”, namely the 28mm focal length, f/2.8 aperture, and 28mm filter diameter, are integrated into this compact lens as precisely and elegantly as three stars. Now that it’s placed here, looking as concise as a gem carefully carved out of time, I know this is the “shape it was always meant to have”. Thank you to the team, and also to every photographer who longs to “set off lightly yet see a vast world”. I hope it can accompany you all to turn more ordinary moments into that warm light in your heart.

저는 개인적으로 Artizlab 과 항상 헤깔리는? 제조사 입니다. 중국이라기 보다는 홍콩 제조사라고 더 강조하는 듯 한데요. 이전에 35.4 렌즈를 출시해서 관심을 좀 가졌었는데 국내에는 정보가 좀 부족한 제조사 중 하나 같습니다. 그래도 꾸준히 렌즈를 만드는 것 같은데 이번에는 28mm f2.8 렌즈를 내놓는군요. 국내에도 조금 더 많이 알려졌으면 하는 바람이 있습니다.^^

중국 제조사 AstrHori 에서 기존에 타마운트로 출시했던 AF 85.8 을 드디어 L마운트로 출시했습니다.

최근에 AF 렌즈들이 많아져서 너무 즐겁네요 유저로서 ㅎㅎ. 국내에서는 KPP 에서 정식수입하고 있는데

저도 사용해보고 리뷰를 올려볼까 합니다~

Leica M E-V1 가 10월 23일 공개됩니다.




The Leica M EV1 camera will be announced next week on October 23rd. Stay tuned for a detailed coverage.

A reader sent me this picture of what appears to be the rumored/upcoming Leica M EV1 camera:

이제 공개 날짜가 확정되었군요.

사실 10월 23일 이라는 사실은 많은 사람이 눈치채지 않았을까 싶습니다.

우리나라도 M Connect 행사가 예정되어 있구요.

Q 와 비슷한 형태이면서 크기는 M 정도로 조금 큰 모습의 카메라 아닐까 싶네요.

일단 무조건 기대되는 모델인건 확실합니다 ㅎㅎ

LLL 에서 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873”렌즈 제작 발표

Light Lens Lab announced the production of a new Light Lens Lab 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873” lens for M-mount. Prototyped initially in 2023 and reviewed by Leica Society International, the lens has been refined with upgraded aspherical and high-refractive ED elements, improved alignment, and optimized performance for modern high-megapixel sensors. Here are the details, check also this LLL page (previous coverage of LLL lenses can be found here):

After two years of continuous development and refinement, we are pleased to announce that production of the Light Lens Lab 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873” has officially begun. The lens will be available for order in the last quarter of 2025.

A prototype of the 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873” was first completed in 2023 and submitted to Leica Society International for in-depth testing and review. Based on their valuable feedback, we decided to postpone its release to make significant improvements to both the optical design and quality control process. The review of the first prototype of the 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873” has been published by Leica Society International.

Please note that during the review of the 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873,” the lens tested was our first prototype. Over the past two years, we have implemented several key changes to optimize performance for modern high-megapixel sensors. Insights gained from another optical project—soon to be announced—had contributed to the final prototype of the 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873.” After testing the final iteration of the 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873,” we are satisfied and confident in moving forward with production.



Key Changes:

  • Changes to Aspherical Element Production: Transition from the use of a ground and polished method to a modern moulded and polished method. This change is due to the implementation of learning the use of moulded aspherical elements, enhancing precision and optical consistency.
  • New ED and Achromatic Element: Introduced a high-refractive low-dispersion and Achromatic Element alongside the new aspherical element to reduce distortion, diffraction, and chromatic aberration. At the same time, it maintains the legendary character and characteristics through the use of Lanthanide elements.
  • Enhanced Quality Control: Improved assembly precision and element spacing—particularly between aspherical and spherical groups—to optimize alignment and image quality. The rear element has been slightly extended for better optical performance, while maintaining full compatibility with M-mount and adapted camera systems.
  • New Optical Standard: Due to the high-performance aspect of 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873.” The lens represents both a tribute to legendary lens design and characteristics and the foundation for our new high-performance optics series.
  • Refinements of ASPH Element Production: Improves overall performance, minimization of aberration and diffraction.
  • Use of ED/Achromatic Element and Lanthanide Element: Reduce amount of distortion and chromatic aberration, while keeping the legendary “AA” characteristic.
  • Use of Aviation Grade Aluminum and Titanium Alloy: For long term usage with durability as priority

 
 
Finishes & Availability

The lens will be available in the following versions:

  • Black Paint
  • Chrome
  • Titanium Grey Limited Edition: Limited to 300 pieces worldwide.

Black Paint and Chrome versions feature bodies and accessories made from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, while the Titanium Grey Limited Edition are made from titanium alloy.

공식 홈페이지에서는 하루 정도 빨리 공개됐었는데 이제 여기저기 소식이 들려오는 군요.

프로토 타입이 공개되고 세월이 좀 지났는데, 이제서야 뭔가 구체화가 되는 것 같습니다.

35.4 ‘11873’ 을 카피한 버전이 LLL 에서 나올 것 같습니다. 공식 출시는 아니고 이제 제작을 하겠다 정도겠네요.

11월이 지나야 조금 더 구체적인 정보가 나올 것 같습니다. 안그래도 35.4 렌즈를 좀 기다렸는데 가격만 괜찮다면 기대해 볼 만 하겠네요. 다만 또 라이카 카피하냐? 라는 비난을 이번에도 피해가기는 쉽지 않겠습니다..
