JoshuaR Posted May 24, 2024 Share #41 Posted May 24, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) For the last couple of months I’ve been thinking of selling my 28mm Summaron. Now I’m thinking that I should keep it, and pick up this Thypoch 50mm to pair with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

3D-Kraft.com Posted May 24, 2024 Share #44 Posted May 24, 2024 Thanks for the review. I like the compactness and the collapse option, but the optical performance seems to suffer from that construction. Especially the bokeh cannot convince me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually love the look of this lens. I also appreciate the "classic made modern" engineers. I just pre-ordered from B&H. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I wouldn't say that the optics are modern. They are modern in terms of coatings (high flare resistance) but outright old-fashioned regarding the design (double Gauss).

Those old double gauss designs rarely feature ED or HRI elements. Maybe have a look at the Light Lens Lab 50mm 2.0 SP II or the 50mm 2.0 Elcan, those I consider not modern. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
costa43 Posted May 25, 2024 Share #48 Posted May 25, 2024 Great review. So much competition in the fast 50 arena. The images look nice and personally, I like the bokeh but the minimum focus of 0.9m, the excessive focus shift and that infinity lock are dealbreakers for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wrote about a large focus shift. Is it possible that you could have had a worse copy of this lens? I asked others who tested this lens and none of them noticed it. I was about to buy a 5cm Leitz summicron for my M3, but finding one without haze and a large number of scratches on the front lens can only be a miracle. I started thinking about this lens then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started thinking about this lens then I doubt it. The problem is rather that most people don't even know what focus shift is. And as said: if you mainly shoot at f/2.0 - which I guess most people do - you won't notice it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a recently serviced Reid IIIa body with no lens, and the Thypoch in LTM at around a quarter of the current price of an original TTH lens would be very attractive. I do have contemporary Leitz 50mm lenses that I can use with the Reid, but the TTH-based Thypoch would be closer to the original. Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
