New IBERIT M-mount Lenses

Handevision Iberit 75mm

Handevision Iberit 75mm

Has anyone used this lens? Looks like a relative bargain, designed in Germany and manufactured in China.
 
I have not tried it but have noticed the Handevision products previously. They certainly look the part but I do not know much about their performance. I did however previously see a couple of internet articles on it by one user.

The second of these articles suggests that there may be some quality assurance issues with some Handevision lenses and I have some a idea that I have heard similar complaints before, one report here: https://leicarumors.com/2017/03/19/...ion-iberit-lenses-on-a-leica-m10-camera.aspx/

Having said that the conclusion seems to be that optically they are good and that the issues alluded to in the last review have been fixed.

In general I like longer lenses and 75mm is for me a good compromise (even on a cropped sensor camera). I own a couple of such lenses, the Voigtlander Classic 75mm f1.8 in leica M mount and the Olympus 75mm f1.8 in m43 mount. Both are excellent in their own way in part because of their interesting focal length.
 
The results I've seen from them have shown terrible flare control and low contrast.
The fact that they went from a regularly stocked item, to a heavily discounted item, to special order only item shows that the buying public was not interested.

I like the 7Artisans 50 1.1 so much I have two of them (silver and black). Even though I have lots of lenses from Leica, Zeiss and Voigtlander (even Jupiter!), it is my favourite lens on film.
It just has so much character and beautiful flaws wide open. There is nothing else on the market like it. At the price it is a ridiculous deal, especially since old Jupiter 3 lenses cost more now! And the new Jupiter 3+ is almost double the price.

Yeah, couldn't agree more. I think the 7Artisans 1.1 is great. Very much like the MS Optical Sonnetar but with a more conventional housing...it's as good as my old Zeiss Opton Sonnar, except with an extra half a stop for more gooey weird character. The whole point of it is that it's a great design stretched to its limits.
 
has anyone bought the 24mm Iberit M mount? Am considering it but cannot find anyone really talking about it.

There is one review on B&H with 1 star saying the diaphragm collapsed after 9 months and nobody at the company replies to their emails lol.

They're supposedly owned by Kipon now, so maybe the QC will improve. But still, f2.4 lenses are, in today's world, kinda dull for most people, especially when you spend your time taking pictures of "bokeh balls".

Haha

Well 2.4 for a 24mm is pretty exciting to me. My current go-to wide angle is a 21mm f2.8 elmarit which is a really good lens but lacks character. Was hoping this might have some art to it. Can’t find much info though...
