Thanks for bringing awareness to this brand. I had never heard of them. That depth of field indicator mechanism is awesome. The design reminds me of my Voigtlander 50mm 1.5 in chrome.

@kevintrudeau6145 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for doing a review on this. I've been watching the development with interest closely. I am very much looking forward to your 28 mm review. Ultra fast wides are such a rarity.

@GenericPhotographer 8 месяцев назад

You definitely won’t be disappointed in that distagon. Congratulations!

@marcp.1752 5 месяцев назад

The Distagon 35/1.4 ZM is since 2006 is the best, more microcontrast, no onion rings like the FLE 'lux, no Leica glow. I could use hopefully the G Planar 35/2 soon... which suits my needs.Yes, i case you noticed - Zeiss Fan since 89 here...and Zeiss was often better then it's Leica counterparts, starting right with the Contax I into 1932...often sharper, faster & better, also cheaper. Love that "Zeissiness" look, it's 3D Pop, microcontrast & rendition, tonality typical for Zeiss lenses.🙂

@DanielKennedyaeos 7 месяцев назад

I have the 35 1.5 nokton asph and it has no glowy look. I'm confused by your comparisons to that lens. In fact I add a 1/4 mist filter to add the glow. Perhaps your review sample was out of calibration? I had to shim mine for accurate focus but if focused using live view it was very sharp. Are you coding this lens or applying lens corrections in post? Vignette looks well-controlled but fringing looks a bit better than my Nokton but worse than the FLE or Distagon. Love the 14 rounded blades on this lens though. more interested in the 28.

@Seapatico 8 месяцев назад

@jsshayes1 8 месяцев назад

Hard to shake the size and performance of a cron. Cheers!

@thedarkslide 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for this overview. Finally a Chinese manufacturer who gets branding right!! They put in the effort to build a brand name that works internationally across languages and cultures. I will be pre-ordering their 28mm, if it's anything like you describe the 35mm, it's going to be a very good value proposition at that price point.

@GenericPhotographer 8 месяцев назад

@patrickglackmeyer 7 месяцев назад

What’s the release date in this and the 28mm?

@Dr_Pessimisto 8 месяцев назад

Thypoch's strategy seems suspicious to me. Only two reviews of the 35mm lens. Both are rather flattering, but it's not enough to form a sufficient opinion. Big promises for the 28mm lens, but so far, ridiculously few test photos at this focal length (most at high apertures, no close focusing tests). Zero reviews 28... I would really like both lenses to be decent and worth the money spent, but due to the way Thypoch currently works, I have great doubts.

@jlwilliams 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for this investigation. I had been curious about Thypoc, and this review certainly makes the lens sound excellent. Curious to know where/how you bought your example, as it's still listed as preorder-only at US dealers.

Thank you for the review! Have you noticed a dip in performance when using it on the Sony?

@GenericPhotographer 8 месяцев назад

Increased field curvature and less sharp edges. Only the center third is business as usual. That said stopping it down worked great. I included shots taken at f2 with the a7iv as mentioned.

@DomAdrian2312 8 месяцев назад

Quite interesting lens but why would I declick on a “vintage” lens? Seems odd to me. Don’t need that on a M lens. Also at this size I hope it’s focusing internally. Appreciate the fact though more M-Mount lenses are coming out.

@beneett6800 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review! Do you think its a cheaper Summilux FLE alternative on film and do you think you'll notice Andy differences on film between the two (terms of micro contrast etc.)?

I’d be hard pressed to see a difference between the FLE on digital. Film would be even harder.

@anthonymiller8979 8 месяцев назад

When dropping down the the .45 meter focus does the rangefinder still work or are you now just estimating distance?

@GenericPhotographer 8 месяцев назад

It does not! I actually cut that part out. The coupling remains but it is non representative of the focus. Gotta switch to live view once you hit .7 unfortunately.

@beachcampfire 8 месяцев назад

Really good review, man, thank you for this! I find it incredible that they managed to do floating elements, it's quite challenging. I think that's one of the secrets to 3d pop. I see it here and this is coming from someone that shoots the Distagon ZM 35/1.4 all the time, there's no better 3d pop than that. Have you had the chance to check out the black finish? I wonder how they compare.

@GenericPhotographer 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Yeah it’s an impressive lens. That distagon is also amazing! Haven’t seen the black finish and I am curious, hopefully I’ll see one soon!

@strippedlist 8 месяцев назад

Because of this floating thingy, can this be used on techart pro autofocus adapter leica to sony?

@GenericPhotographer 8 месяцев назад

It can definitely be used on your techart. It would depend on your subject choice. Maybe prefocus if it will be close up

@ofeykalakar1 8 месяцев назад

I’ve tested it on the Z8. Both the 28 and 35, both are sharp edge to edge at infinity at f1.4. By the way the APO Lanthars are FLE designs. These guys also make cinelenses under a different brand name that are highly regarded, hence the very nice touch of the clickless aperture. The close focus detente, like some of the newer Leica lenses is also a very nice feature.

how it compare to Nokton 35mm f1.5? thank tou.

@GenericPhotographer 8 месяцев назад

I briefly mentioned it in the video, the Simera is sharper up close, it doesn’t have a midzone dip. Bokeh is good on both, I like them equally for their character. From what I can see the Simera has less fringing and less vignetting as well.

@c724cjw 8 месяцев назад

The optical design is nearly identical to the 35FLE so it made sense they produced nearly identical pictures. This is a bargain compared to 35 FLE .

@danielmollohan1703 7 месяцев назад

Did you address finder blockage? You probably did, but I must have missed it. Less than the zeiss 1.4? More than an asph. Cron? Looks kinda like it’s a fat lens. Would you recommend an OVF for those who like an uninterrupted view? Off topic, but I just picked up a Ricoh 40mm OVF to use with my VT 40mm f2.8 color skopar, and I highly recommend these tiny viewfinders(they have a 28mm too that I am hoping I can find used, as I did with this one). They are about 1/3 the size of the modern leica ovf’s, super bright, and they do leave a bit of room around the frame so it really feels like the M finder. I doubt you use viewfinders, but maybe you know someone who does and there are not many in-depth reviews of them here, or anywhere. One last thing, great job, as always, and thanks.

@wayneyung1262 6 месяцев назад

I have the same feeling too. It is just about the flare control is way different from the FLE, giving it has a dramatic feel than the FLE.

@Nedumgottil 8 месяцев назад

@@dankim3950 hard to compare a 1.4 lens with a f2 lens. They’ve each got their strengths but I’d go for the Simera for the less harsh rendering and speed.

@bberns22bernstein34 8 месяцев назад

Seems like a promising product that will offer more choices for a segment of rangefinder users; competition is good. I think the whole aspirational approach to naming the brand is kind of, well, aspirational on Typoch's part. At the end of the day the Leica brand will remain the pinnacle of desirability. Not because Leica is the best (Voigtlander has already proven that) but because of Leica heritage and exclusivity. The Leica approach to branding should be a required course at every business school. Price your product beyond the reach of 85% of buyers and sell a lot. Price it beyond 95% and create a two year wait list, and a used market in which a customer will pay 2x for the product, used, in 10 years...

For this price, I have no complaint. Although I have the FLE, re-issue Steel rim, Voigtlander 35/1.5, I think this lens is incredible especially when I shoot with the M10 monochrom. And this lens is not like LLL, kind of fussy to put Made in China both in Chinese and English characters on the lens, too busy to say Made in China, I don’t really understand why? No need to mention too much, it’s a copy indeed!

Feel sorry for you if you have the really narrow point of view. Lots of manufacturers makes wonderful lenses for the M system and Leica needs competitors that challenge them. Voigtlander even makes lenses that are better built today then some Leica lenses for a fraction of the price. Cheaper lenses also makes it possible for more people to enjoy and try the Leica camera experience.

How is it a copy? Their 28f1.4 is tiny compared with the 28 lux. The 28 lux doesn’t close focus, nor is it FLE. This one has dynamic zone and hyper focus indicators and clickless aperture like a cinelens. It’s sharp at infinity at f1.4. So how is it a copy?
