Got my lens today. Took a few preliminary shots with the M9M, amazing sharpness in the center wide open and classic “character”.

Thanks again to Kevin and Mr. Zhou, I really appreciate it!

You are very welcome! I have to say that I am amazed by the DHL service. I shipped the packages on this Monday. It only took two days for them to deliver the package to your door. Not mentioned the chaos happening in the States now. Stay safe and enjoy your lens.

Best wishes,
Kevin

Indeed, DHL is more expensive than the regular shipping service like EMS. But I do wish most of the buyer could agree on using DHL. Especially under the situation we are right now. They are reliable, efficient, and very convenient. I tried my best to save as much as possible for the buyer under DHL's charging policy.
 
Hi Kevin,

When will the second batch pre-order start?

I am located in Australia.

Best regards

Fisher

I have Summilux 50 1.4 Version 1 & Version 2, LHSA BP Asph 50 1.4, and Millenium Nikkor 50 1.4. I also have the good old Nikkor-S.C 50 1.4 LTM and Canon 50 1.4 LTM. If you guys want to see, I can compare these lenses when I have time.

That’s an impressive achievement. If I didn’t already own the original I would jump all over it. Count me in for the 35mm Summilux v1 (E41 “steel rim”) project.

Many years ago before the price of the Steel Rim went through the roof I own a few samples in M2 and M3 goggle versions. Only one of them was sharp at 1.4 and it was beautiful while the rest underperformed until stopped down. I don’t know the reason behind the sample variations perhaps because these are old lenses. If a replica can produce consistent quality then I would like to see them try.

At which cost? We know that the Noctilux replica will cost more than the Summicrpn replica.

No other information revealed. keep in mind that they are not a mass production company. "indie lens firm" is a suitable phrase i guess.
