[New test photos released] Leica Summicron 35/2 Eight Element copy made in China

[KEVIN-XU 愛 forever]

Happy Lunar New Year to Kevin, Mr. Zhou, and everyone else! I'm planning to head to my local Chinatown this weekend to photograph the sights and performances, and stuff my face with lots of good food. I'll probably use my Ultron 35/2 that I purchased last month, and maybe next year I'll use my brass 8 Element replica!

🙂 Happy new year! I am happy to hear you plan to use the replica 8-element in the next Chinese New Year. Mr. Zhou and I will do our our best to fulfill the orders.

Kevin

Wow!!! I can see my lens from here!!! Just beautiful Chinese character engraving. Fantastic!

 

[alex.wheatley]

Amazing!! Have people already found out if their lens is that picture or are we still excitedly waiting?

 

[valdas]

It's like a teaser that never ends... so painful to see and wait...and wait...

 

[ACullen]

Really beautiful looking lenses. Very tempting

 

[maartenmoerman]

Nice, I can (hopefully) see my lens here is well 🙂

looks great, can't see mine but hopefully it is there.

question, did you guys send the invoice for the lens yet as I havent received anything yet.

 

[D&A]

WOW!! In a word, simply beautiful in every aspect. Yes like others I too can see my name on one of those shown. As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words and these pics most definitely do. They remind me of a wonderful buffet of delicious dishes that one can look but don't touch...yet 🙂. Thanks ever so much for posting these Kevin.

I hope to see soon my brass finish lens too.
Happy Chinese New Year, Kevin.

 

[aizan]

*Standing ovation*

Happy New Year indeed!

How soon until we can pay?!

 

[raid]

The shown lenses look beautiful to me. WOW! Some display " 8-ELEMENT" on the front. I wonder what each lens displays. Is there a record on what has been written so far on the front of the ordered lenses?

 

[KEVIN-XU 愛 forever]

Thank you very much for all the support and positive comments!

I haven’t send out any invoice yet as we are having the Chinese New Year currently. Many people sending me emails asking when and how to pay for the lens. I am very sorry that I don’t have the time to reply to all the emails. Again, I will make sure everyone who placed the order will have the lens. Please just be more patient and wait for my further update. Thank you for your understanding.

Cheers,
Kevin

Mr. Zhou and his team will work on the brass version after the Chinese New Year.
