This Leica M-mount lens recreates a 1930s classic for a fraction of the price
The vintage lens could now cost you over $20,000!
DK-Optic has released a new Leica M-mount lens called the Chiaro 1.5-inch (38mm) f/1.9, which is designed to recreate the look and feel of the classic Dallmeyer Super Six lens from the 1930s. This lens pays tribute to the legendary standard-focal-length lens by using the same 6-element, 4-group optical stack and 10 aperture blades, while maintaining the vintage lens's image quality characteristics.
The lens features a hand-made construction using 5-axis CNC machining and grinding of decades-old new old stock optical glass, and is priced at $1,600.
