This ultra-large aperture 50mm lens was born from the dreamy rendering of the Kino Plasmat 5cm F1.5. Reconstructed with modern technology while paying homage to classic lenses, it allows you to enjoy the soft expression reminiscent of legendary lenses of yesteryear in today’s shooting environment.

The f/1.1 aperture creates a fantastical atmosphere.

At f/1.1, the shallow depth of field and rich bokeh create a dreamy atmosphere. Enjoy a soft, almost blurred rendering reminiscent of an oil painting. It gently envelops light and the contours of the subject, leading to a truly memorable image.

A limited edition bottle born from passion.

This lens was born when a young developer resonated with the passion of an old lens enthusiast and commissioned lens casting craftsman DJ to design it. It is a special, limited-production lens that embodies both a longing for classic lenses and the craftsman’s dedication.

With a total length of approximately 44.5mm, it offers excellent portability.

Despite being an ultra-large aperture lens with an F1.1 aperture, it achieves a compact size with a total length of approximately 44.5mm.

일본에서 발매되어서 뭔가 일본의 제품같은 느낌을 풍기지만,

자세히보면 중국 제조사에서 만든 50.1 렌즈 입니다.

한정판으로 개수 제한을 두었군요.

가격이 100만원을 넘는 수준이 될 것 같습니다.

조리개는 밝고 특유의 몽환적인 느낌이 있다니 궁금하긴 한데..

결론적으로 중국산 렌즈에 100만원 이상을 지출할 이유가 있을까 싶은..

Artralab 에서 28mm f/2.8 출시 예정 (M-mount)

 


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.^^

LLL 에서 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873”렌즈 제작 발표

Light Lens Lab announced the production of a new Light Lens Lab 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873” lens for M-mount. Prototyped initially 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, check also this LLL page (previous coverage of LLL lenses can be found here):

After two years of continuous development and refinement, we are pleased to announce that production of the Light Lens Lab 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873” has officially begun. The lens will be available for order in the last quarter of 2025.

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 gained from another optical project—soon to be announced—had 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.



Key Changes:

  • 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 learning the use of moulded aspherical elements, enhancing 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: Improves overall performance, minimization of aberration and diffraction.
  • Use of ED/Achromatic Element and Lanthanide Element: Reduce amount of distortion and chromatic aberration, while keeping the legendary “AA” characteristic.
  • Use of Aviation Grade Aluminum and Titanium Alloy: For long term usage with durability as priority

 
 
Finishes & Availability

The lens will be available in the following versions:

  • Black Paint
  • Chrome
  • Titanium Grey Limited Edition: Limited to 300 pieces worldwide.

Black Paint and Chrome versions feature bodies and accessories made from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, while the Titanium Grey Limited Edition are made from titanium alloy.

공식 홈페이지에서는 하루 정도 빨리 공개됐었는데 이제 여기저기 소식이 들려오는 군요.

프로토 타입이 공개되고 세월이 좀 지났는데, 이제서야 뭔가 구체화가 되는 것 같습니다.

35.4 ‘11873’ 을 카피한 버전이 LLL 에서 나올 것 같습니다. 공식 출시는 아니고 이제 제작을 하겠다 정도겠네요.

11월이 지나야 조금 더 구체적인 정보가 나올 것 같습니다. 안그래도 35.4 렌즈를 좀 기다렸는데 가격만 괜찮다면 기대해 볼 만 하겠네요. 다만 또 라이카 카피하냐? 라는 비난을 이번에도 피해가기는 쉽지 않겠습니다..
