The Light Lens Lab 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873” lens for M-mount was initially prototyped 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 (previous coverage of LLL lenses can be found here):
Specifications
Focal Length: 35mm
Format Coverage: 35mm Full Frame (24×36mm)
Optical Design: 9 elements in 5 groups (aspherical elements in groups 2 and 5)
Minimum Focus Distance: 0.7 m (rangefinder-coupled)
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 from another optical project—soon to be announced—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.
Use of ED/Achromatic element and Lanthanide element: effectively reducing distortion, diffraction, and chromatic aberrations. Retains the legendary controlled “glow” characteristic at f/1.4.
In-house production: all mechanical and optical components are designed, manufactured, and assembled entirely in-house.
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 moulded aspherical elements, which enhance 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: Improve overall performance, minimize aberrations, and reduce diffraction.
Use of Aviation Grade Aluminum and Titanium Alloy: For long-term usage with durability as priority

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.^^
