Light Lens Lab announced a new 50mm f/1.9 “Rigid-ZS6” (Super Six) Dallmeyer lens vor M-mount (based on the Dallmeyer “Super Six” lens):

The Light Lens Lab 50mm f/1.9 “Rigid-ZS6” is the newest addition to the Rigid Series, combining the classic 50mm f/1.9 “Super-Six” optical formula (6 elements in 4 groups, double-Gaussian design with full-frame 135 coverage) with the proven mechanical platform of the existing 50mm f/2 Rigid lens to deliver the original’s expressive bokeh and classical color rendering while boosting center sharpness for modern digital sensors. It is offered in two versions: the standard Rigid-ZS6 and a low-contrast Rigid-ZS6* (marked with an asterisk on the front ring) that provides greater highlight/shadow detail and a more film-like tonal response based on community feedback. The lens features an f/1.9 maximum aperture with a preset diaphragm and half-stop clicks, a compact build measuring just 45 mm long × 54 mm in diameter and weighing approximately 263 g, a brass outer barrel with aluminum/brass internals, M-mount quick-change bayonet, 0.7 m to infinity focus range, E39 filter thread, and compatibility with an optional A42 clip-on hood.

“Rigid” Series Update

The “Rigid” Series continues our research into classic optical formulas, adapted into a unified mechanical platform. Following the 50mm f/2 “Rigid” and “Rigid-SPII,” this release further expands the system. Ongoing developments include additional formulas such as the 50mm f/1.9 “S5” and 50mm f/2 “Apochromat.”

LLL 에서 새로운 렌즈를 출시했습니다.

달마이어의 슈퍼식스 렌즈를 복각한 것 같은데, 디자인은 라이카 리지드를 카피한 느낌입니다.

렌즈 스펙이나 보케는 기대가 되는데,,, 왜 디자인은 리지드를 따라한 건지..ㅎㅎ

알다가도 모를 것 같은 LLL 입니다~~
