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~~

DK-Optic is a new Chinese lens manufacturer, and they will soon introduce a new Impastolite 50mm f/1.5 lens for Leica M-mount (already listed for sale on eBay) – this is a modern reproduction of the legendary vintage Dallmeyer Septac Anastigmat 50mm f/1.5 lens:

Background on the Original Dallmeyer Septac

The original Dallmeyer Septac Anastigmat 50mm f/1.5 dates back to the 1950s (with prototypes as early as the late 1920s or 1930s) and was produced by the British optical company J.H. Dallmeyer. It’s a rare cine and still photography lens, originally an option for cameras like the Ilford Witness, and is considered one of the fastest and most coveted 50mm lenses from that era. The design is a 7-element in 4-group Sonnar-type anastigmat, based on earlier innovations like the 1938 Simlar lens. Vintage examples exist in uncoated and coated (e.g., DC coated) versions, with the uncoated ones being particularly rare and prized for their “oil-painting” style bokeh, soft melting highlights, and three-dimensional rendering that doesn’t match modern sharp optics. Originals are extremely scarce, with auction prices reaching around £25,000 (about $32,000 USD) for well-preserved copies.

Specifications the DK-Optic Impastolite 50mm f/1.5 lens

Focal Length: 50mm
Maximum Aperture: f/1.5
Mount: Leica M (with rangefinder coupling for accurate focusing on M-series cameras)
Optical Design: Replica of the original 7-element Sonnar-type, but with new elements for improved consistency
Build: Compact and robust, available in two finishes (black or silver)
Coatings: Black version features amber coatings for controlled flare; silver version is uncoated for a more vintage, high-contrast look with potential for stronger flare and glow
Other: Designed to evoke the original’s artistic qualities, such as soft, swirly bokeh, melting highlights, and a painterly feel in out-of-focus areas, while being suitable for both stills and cine use

새로운 렌즈 제조사의 등장이네요. 이번에도 중국 입니다..ㅋ

그들의 기세와 기술력은 무서울 정도.,.

제조사 이름은 DK 옵틱스네요. 50.5 렌즈를 출시했습니다.

Dallmeyer Septac Anastigmat 50mm f/1.5 lens 를 복각해서 내놓은 듯 합니다.

이베이 판매가격을 보니 500만원이 넘는 듯 한데..가격이 만만치 않네요…^^;;;
