Kase has released the AF 24mm f/3.8 full-frame autofocus pancake lens for the Sony FE mount. But they said other mount versions (including L-mount) are going to be released later. It features an optical design of 6 elements in 6 groups and a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for autofocus. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.3 meters and weighing just 60 grams, it is a compact, lightweight lens ideal for everyday use.

24mm f3.8 렌즈를 FE마운트로 먼저 출시했는데, 소니라서 관심없었다가
알고보니 하반기에 이어서 L마운트로도 출시하는가 봅니다.
빌트록스에서 이쪽 광각 팬케익을 꾸준히 내놓고 있는데, 신생 제조사에서 경쟁제품을 보여주네요.

Meike has officially announced the development of the AF 85mm F1.2 lens—a full-frame, autofocus prime lens featuring a fast F1.2 aperture. It will utilize Meike’s latest proprietary technology, prioritizing weight reduction while maintaining high optical quality; the optical design is already largely complete, with the lens body weight kept under 900g. Two development paths are currently being explored:
The TTArtisan Neo line is a new series of ultra-affordable, minimalist full-frame autofocus prime lenses that prioritize extreme simplicity, compact size, and low cost over traditional manual controls. The line features a clean, no-frills design with no aperture ring or focus ring.

After the 35mm f/2 “Seven Elements”, Mandler will release a new 50mm f/1.4 PRE-ASPH “E46” lens for Leica M-mount based on the legendary Leica SUMMILUX‑M 1:1.4/50 PRE‑ASPH lens designed by Dr. Walter Mandler:
“In the world of Leica’s 50mm lenses, one optic has been the subject of conversation for more than half a century—the SUMMILUX‑M 1:1.4/50 PRE‑ASPH.
Back in the 1960s, when computers had yet to enter the realm of optical design and aspherical elements were still a rarity, a lens was born purely from the designer’s hand calculations and a deep, intuitive feel for glass. Such was the genesis of the Summilux‑M 1:1.4/50 E43.
As the gears of time turned into the 1990s, computer technology had become ubiquitous in optical design, and multi‑coating techniques had matured considerably. Through optimisation and refinement of the E43, Leica delivered its ultimate spherical answer to the standard 50mm Summilux: the 1:1.4/50 E46.
It carried forward the classic optical framework of the E43, yet introduced numerous thoughtful enhancements. In many ways, it struck a perfect equilibrium between sheer optical quality and distinctive character—achieving near‑aspherical resolution with a spherical construction, while retaining the uniquely alluring bokeh that spherical lenses are celebrated for.
To bring this legacy back to the hands of today’s photographers, we have meticulously refined it through four optical revisions and five rounds of prototyping, polishing every element until it sang.
The result is the Mandler 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE‑A.
More details will unfold over the course of this month. The Mandler 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE‑A will officially greet you in July—stay tuned.”
“라이카의 50mm 렌즈 세계에서 하나의 광학 렌즈인 SUMMILUX-M 1:1.4/50 PRE-ASPH는 반세기 넘게 화제가 되어 왔습니다.
1960년대 컴퓨터가 아직 광학 설계의 영역에 진입하지 못하고 비구면 요소가 여전히 드물었던 시절, 디자이너의 손으로 계산한 렌즈와 유리에 대한 깊고 직관적인 느낌이 탄생했습니다. 이것이 바로 Summilux-M 1:1.4/50 E43의 탄생이었습니다.
1990년대로 접어들면서 컴퓨터 기술은 광학 설계에서 보편화되었고, 다중 코팅 기술은 상당히 성숙해졌습니다. 라이카는 E43의 최적화와 개선을 통해 표준 50mm Sumilux, 즉 1:1.4/50 E46에 대한 궁극적인 구형 해답을 제시했습니다.
E43의 고전적인 광학 프레임워크를 발전시켰지만, 수많은 사려 깊은 개선 사항을 도입했습니다. 여러 면에서 순수한 광학 품질과 독특한 특성 사이의 완벽한 균형을 이루었으며, 구형 구조로 거의 비구면 해상도를 달성하면서도 구형 렌즈가 자랑하는 독특한 매력적인 보케를 유지했습니다.
이 유산을 오늘날의 사진작가들에게 다시 전달하기 위해, 우리는 네 번의 광학 수정과 다섯 번의 프로토타이핑을 통해 세심하게 다듬어 모든 요소를 노래할 때까지 연마했습니다.
그 결과 맨들러 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE-A가 탄생했습니다.
자세한 내용은 이번 달에 공개될 예정입니다. 맨들러 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE-A는 7월에 공식적으로 출시될 예정이니 많은 관심 부탁드립니다.”
폴라에 이어서 7매옥 카피버전을 출시해서 인기몰이 중인 맨들러에서 50.4 PRE-ASPH 버전을 내놓으려나 봅니다.
폴라에서 제작시 워낙에 인정받았던 7매옥이었는데, 맨들러에서 자체적으로 새롭게 내놓는 50.4 는 어떨지..

Sirui is teasing a compact new telephoto lens ahead of its July 2 launch. The company claims it will fit in the “palm of your hand,” hinting at an unusually small design. For now, there’s no word on whether this will be an APS-C or full-frame lens.

Leica is rumored to announce a new M11-R camera later this year or in early 2027. I was told that the M11-R will have a new sensor but still at 60MP (the last M10-R had a higher-resolution sensor than the M10 version – the general perception was that R stood for “resolution”). Some of the other changes we may see in the M11-R include a larger LCD screen, which could lead to a different button/comntrols placement or even their complete elimination (all touchscreen-based). I am sure most of you remember those leaked prototypes:
My understanding is that the Leica M11-R will use a next-gen or similar sensor that we may see in the M12. The M11-R could be a very good financial deal, just as the M10-R (now listed at $6,835.95) was compared to the M11 ($10,400). It seems that the M11-R will be an experiment/test of what the Leica M12 could be:
라이카는 올해 말 또는 2027년 초에 새로운 M11-R 카메라를 발표할 것이라는 소문이 있습니다. M11-R에 새로운 센서가 장착될 것이라고 들었는데, 여전히 60MP입니다(마지막 M10-R에는 M10 버전보다 고해상도 센서가 장착되어 있었습니다. 일반적인 인식은 R이 “해상도”를 의미한다는 것이었습니다). M11-R에서 볼 수 있는 다른 변화로는 더 큰 LCD 화면이 있으며, 이는 버튼/컴노트롤 배치가 다르거나 완전히 제거될 수도 있습니다(모든 터치스크린 기반). 대부분의 분들이 유출된 프로토타입을 기억하실 거라고 확신합니다:
제가 이해하기로는 라이카 M11-R은 우리가 M12에서 볼 수 있는 차세대 센서나 유사한 센서를 사용할 것입니다. M11-R(현재 $6,835.95에 나와 있음)을 M11($10,400)과 비교했을 때, M11-R은 매우 좋은 금융 거래가 될 수 있습니다. M11-R은 라이카 M12가 무엇인지에 대한 실험/테스트가 될 것 같습니다:
Leica is rumored to announce a new M11-P Hammertone (Hammerschlag) limited edition camera later this year. The mockups below provide a preview of what the final design might look like (all pictures are mockups):
Additional information on Leica Hammertone cameras:
What is “Hammertone”?
Leica Hammertone cameras feature a distinctive textured grey “hammered” or pebbled paint finish that gives them an industrial, tool-like appearance. Leica has a long history of making Hammertone cameras
The Hammertone finish originated in the late 1950s/early 1960s at Ernst Leitz Wetzlar. It was primarily used on scientific and optical instruments (microscopes, slide projectors, enlargers, etc.) because it hid minor surface imperfections on machined parts, was extremely durable, and was more cost-effective than high-gloss finishes. The Hammertone finish has a rugged, almost military/scientific character that develops a unique patina with use (some light brassing can occur on edges).
Leica rarely applied it to actual 35mm cameras. The first (and for decades the only) official photographic camera version appeared in 1964, when Leica produced just 10 Leica MD bodies in grey Hammertone (serial numbers 1102501–1102510). These simplified M-series bodies (no viewfinder) were made for scientific/copying use with the Visoflex reflex housing. Matching hammertone Visoflex housings were also supplied. These 10 cameras are now legendary rarities among collectors.
Most notable Leica Hammertone cameras
1964 Leica MD Grey Hammertone (only 10 made): the original and rarest. Extremely collectible as the direct inspiration for all later Hammertone Leicas.
2003 Leica MP Grey Hammertone “LHSA 1968-2003” (1,400 units): the most famous and iconic “Hammertone” camera. Produced to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Leica Historical Society of America (LHSA). It is a mechanical MP with the signature grey hammertone finish on the top and bottom plates (contrasting chrome controls and accents). Many were sold as sets that included a chrome Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens and sometimes a Leicavit rapid winder, all styled with retro 1950s touches. It remains one of the most desirable and visually striking special editions Leica ever made.
2026 Leica M-A Hammertone “Ginza 20th Anniversary” (100 units) The newest official Hammertone edition (announced April 2026). Based on the fully mechanical, battery-free M-A film camera. It carries the classic grey hammertone finish on the top cover and base plate, plus a special “20 JAHRE” engraving. Made exclusively for the Japanese market to mark 20 years of the Leica Store Ginza (the world’s first directly operated Leica store). A modern, limited tribute to the classic look.
I am not sure if both new lenses will be released at the same time as the camera. The official announcement is expected at the end of June (or in the next two weeks).곧 출시될 라이카 SL 카메라와 렌즈가 있습니다:
이제 2주내로 SL3-P 가 출시되려나 봅니다. ㅎㅎ
가격은 6,000유로 정도로 책정되서 천만원? 정도 할런지..
SL 50.4 는 이미 단종되었고 더 가볍고 작은 신버전이 나올 것 같습니다.
그리고 SL 100마 렌즈로 출시되는데, 저는 파나소닉 택갈이를 예상중인데 시그마 택갈이 가능성도 있어보이는 군요.
