On September 9, 2025, DJ-Optical launched a 50mm f/1.0 lens for Leica M mount, limited to 300 silver units, featuring a compact size and a large aperture, 62mm filter design, allowing for simultaneous attachment of filters and a lens hood. It has 11-blade diaphragm and the design consists of 10 elements in five groups, all crafted from high-refractive-index optical materials. The coating utilizes an ultra-low reflectivity coating process, resulting in optimal glare control. The lens exhibits excellent center sharpness at full aperture, with out-of-focus effects resembling those of ginkgo leaves

Optical designer DJ-Optical is an independent optical design team that has been serving the optical industry in China for more than 20 years. DJ-Optical currently sells only to customers in China and is expected to launch its own website in December 2025.

DJ Optics 와 같은 회사인지는 모르겠네요. 아마 같지 않을까 싶은데.. 50 1.0 렌즈를 내놓았군요.

L마운트도 그렇고 중국 제조사들의 능력이 대단해 보입니다. 시장을 이제는 선도하는 느낌마저 드는 것 같네요.

예전에는 싼 렌즈에 불과했다면, 이제는 꽤 싸면서 쓸만한 렌즈 수준으로 올라와서.. 써드파티 렌즈들과 경쟁을 하는 수준같이 느껴집니다. 그만큼 디자인이나 퀄리티가 좋아지지 않았나 싶네요.

12월은 되야 이 렌즈에 대한 정보가 구체적으로 나오겠지만 가격면에서 매력적이길 기대해 봅니다.
