And another review for the Simera 28mm f1.4

I am not ready for such a lens. The 28mm focal length is "not normal" for me. I gravitate towards 50mm lenses. If I need to use a 28mm lens, I have a Kobalux 28/3.5 and a Rokkor-M 28/2.8.

I have a sweet 28 f/2.8 by Canon, LTM, that does the job really well. I am not a guy who buys a lot of lenses. I have more now than I need, some good ones. But I do like reading about what is being offered. Thanks.

I used to be really into 28mm, as my second digicam, the Canon S70, had a 28mm equivalent lens. The Zeiss 28mm f2.8 was my first rangefinder lens, bought with the Zeiss Ikon, and I loved shooting with it. Some years later, I got the Leica 28mm Elmarit Asph. These days, I tend to prefer 21mm and 35mm, but if I had a 28mm f1.4 with good image quality, I'd shoot the dickens out of it. Depending on the rendering, I might even use that as my primary lens. So I'm looking at the Thypoch and Voigtlander offerings with considerable interest.

This fellow reviewed the 28 and 35 last month:
I'm not a huge fan of this review as the photography doesn't really grab me, but it gives an idea of how the lenses can work with random street photography on the M10.

Awesomely, Benj Haisch has done a comparative review with the Thypoch and Voigtlander 28s!
But oddly, he doesn't have any photo samples from out in the field where he shot the same subjects with both lenses. This would have been very helpful to see the differences in rendering.

"In terms of image quality and sharpness, this lens rivals my 35mm Summilux."

Oh look, a guy in a cap who didn’t know what is Leica just a few years ago, trying to convince us not to choose a summicron collapsinle, arguably the very best 50 in the world for fhe longest time, and a historic lens with extreme relevance, over this chinese copy 🤣

The guy doesn't do that. Next time around view the clip before spouting your diatribe.

I have learned a long time ago to value my time, because asking for a refund has never worked so far.
The first 1.25 seconds were enough to understand the whole marketing ploy.
You really went on for the whole 10 minutes? 🤣

They can send it to me, I'll test it for free and post what I think- not what I'm paid to post.

At least it’s acknowledged. As per the screen grabs I posted he works with various ‘brands’ and is now ‘sharing that passion full time via…’
It is what it is

Refers to the embedded squarespace ad, not to the lensmaker.

Thanks - hadn’t realised that

If 1.25 seconds is an accurate enough predictor of ten minutes of a video to condemn it I fall behind. I am just not that smart. And I am retired so my time is free now. If I had watched the first few minutes of 8 1/2 I could have decided it was too weird and useless. I would have been wrong. I just rewatched it and it still is an interesting movie.

I just seen another video of someone else promoting that Typoch Eureka lens and to tell you the truth the photo samples he showed could have taken with an Industar 61 l/d lens that can be bought for 30 dollars.

There’s nothing wrong with the I61 LD but I get what you mean 😉
