Robert E Posted February 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Guys, Has anyone tried the newly released Handevision IBERIT series of lenses on your SL camera? Just looking for some input on what looks to be a valuable German designed alternative. They are actually made with the L mount, so no adapter needed. Thanks.

Ivar B Posted February 27, 2017 Share #2 Posted February 27, 2017 I don`t think they have reached the market just yet. Dealers say "coming soon". Optically, they are identical to the M siblings, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted February 27, 2017 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2017 They are different designs, and the maker has no connection to Leica. So no siblings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert E Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted February 27, 2017 The Handevision IBERIT lenses are available at several large dealers. I also heard the mfg. gave some lenses out in exchange for reviews being written on them. Anyone tried one yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivar B Posted February 28, 2017 Share #5 Posted February 28, 2017 They are different designs, and the maker has no connection to Leica. So no siblings. Probably a misunderstanding (?) - what I meant is that the L and M IBERIT lenses of same focal length etc. are identical - I intented no reference to Leica lenses.

Robert E Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted February 28, 2017 I think Ivar is correct, it seems like they only change the mount. This of course would keep production costs down. Given the need not to block the viewfinder on the M series, the lenses will look small on the SL series, just like the Leica M lenses do. But hey, to date, it's the only other L mount out there.
