Advertisement Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Hi cirke, Take a look here new Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Slender Posted February 9, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) One could simply say that "the poor man pays twice" but what I really think is this: That it is amazing what indecent wages in the far east can do for us in the west to put on our overpriced Leica bodies 0.95 lenses are toys. As this kind of toys goes this one is cheap. One only need to see HOW MANY of those, Leica or not, are on offer on second hand sales (https://www.reddotcameras.co.uk/248-m-lenses#/focal_length-50mm&orderby=position&orderway=asc&n=9) That is just one shop in the UK. The original has been out for 10 years or so, is rumoured to be replaced someday.... that is enough for wannabes to copy it with I guess decent results, image wise and even mecanichally speaking I would imagine.

cirke Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted February 9, 2021 All life activities are toys. and very often much more expensive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slender Posted February 9, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 9, 2021 Just see how many are on sale here: https://www.reddotcameras.co.uk/248-m-lenses#/focal_length-50mm&orderby=position&orderway=asc&n=9 Surely that is how yours ended up eventually. You will get tired of it, but it will be less punishing to buy/forget/resale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted February 10, 2021 Share #14 Posted February 10, 2021 The question posed by the TO was clear enough. Could the ladies and gentlemen who don't want to say anything about the product to be discussed please do so and not tell us about everything else ? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree that Germans are quite as capable of producing low-grade products as any other nation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
