  • Homage to one of the most distinguished and sought-after lenses in photographic history. This lens pays faithful homage to the groundbreaking double-aspherical optical concept, while offering advancements in rendering performance, distortion control, and chromatic aberration suppression.
  • Enhanced Optical Performance: Optimized for modern high-resolution digital sensors, utilizing precision-moulded and manually polished Aspherical elements to achieve superior image quality.
  • Advanced Materials: Integration of newly developed Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) and Achromatic elements alongside a new aspherical component to effectively reduce distortion, diffraction, and chromatic aberrations.
  • Signature Rendering: Retains the renowned controlled “glow” characteristic at f/1.4 through the use of lanthanide-infused optical elements.
  • Comprehensive In-House Production: All mechanical and optical components are designed, manufactured, and assembled entirely in-house.
