rclompus Posted March 5 Share #1 Posted March 5 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just published a review of two new lenses from Light Lens Lab at PetaPixel: https://petapixel.com/2024/03/05/light-lens-lab-1966-50mm-f-1-2-and-spii-50mm-f-2-review-rare-lenses-recreated/ The lenses are re-creations of historic lenses from Leica and Cooke. I suspect both will be very popular for photographers. Tony Rose, is the U.S. distributor at PopFlash in Southern California (www.popflash.com). I do not have any financial or consulting relationships with either company. I am a retired optometrist who enjoys optics and photography. Enjoy. Be well, Richard Clompus Virginia, USA Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Hi rclompus, Take a look here Review of the 1966 50/1.2 and SPII 50/2 Rigid Lenses from Light Lens Lab. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
JoshuaRothman Posted March 6 Share #2 Posted March 6 Thank you for these. Both of these lenses are on my radar and these reviews are helpful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brown Posted March 6 Share #3 Posted March 6 I am scratching my head why you did not compare the LLL 50/1.2 with corresponding Noctilux 1.2, but rather with Noctilux 1.0 ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brown Posted March 6 Share #4 Posted March 6 Also, why are "sample images" tiny, a couple hundred pixels and non-clickable? And you did not mention the third finish of LLL 50/1.2 beside black and silver... Welcome, dear visitor!

gammarART Posted March 6 Share #5 Posted March 6 Clickable sample shots would be nice. For me the bokeh looks not very smooth in the small samples. Anybody knows how the aperture blades form the bokeh highlights from 2.8 to 5.6? The Summilux Asph produces very ugly sawtooth formst highlights.

rclompus Posted March 6 Author Share #6 Posted March 6 (edited) The reference books used to write the article have now been added to the end of the article for readers to go deeper in their understanding of Leica optics. Erwin Puts was a guiding light into analysis of camera optics. Welcome, dear visitor!
