I think Thypoch's competitor is Voigtlander. People who will buy Leica lenses won't be interested in Thypoch lenses anyway
1:52 yep
Agreed but that’s not to say that the Thypoch doesn’t compete with the Leica on quality. It seems like it competes and holds its own pretty well. But there are many who want Leica regardless and that is of course fine.
@@xjc1988 But be aware of that doesn’t exist another 50mm 1.4 can go 45cm and has resistance feedback for rangefinder failure except Leica itself and this one
But be aware of that doesn’t exist another 50 1.4 can go 45cm and has resistance feedback except Leica itself this Thypoch one.
@@shuailuo8637 Yeah I've always wanted to get the Voigtlanders but I recently got my Simera 28mm only because of the resistance feedback at 0.7m
I’m so impressed with the Thypoch lenses.
thank you, focus tab is really an improvement
It would be really cool to see this brand release some m39 screw mount versions of these lenses too
As a new Leica shooter.. this tickles my fancy
Would be interested to see how this compares to the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5
Post the video so all can see.
I have the 28mm Simera and can't wait to check this one out too.
They pair really nicely
I like the lens design and the bokeh it produces.
Great video!🥰
This a great option for Lecia and for digital medium format. I might pick one of these up for my m6 and gfx as i don’t have a 50 and this would give me a little wider view on the gfx.
I still don't get it when people keep praising Leica lens in 2024. There are more and more new brand that same level or even better than Leica in term of image quality and value.
@khaipham1157 I didnt get it until I got my Leica M 35mm f/2. I can't explain why but it is hands down the best lens I have ever used across any system, The Fall off is just so damn beautiful
@@khaipham1157 there’s cinema lenses that cost over 20k and people close that over a sigma for it rendering characteristics
@@RumoHasIt which leica 35 f2 did you buy ?
@martinrumfeld8593 oh gosh, I got it used on ebay. The full title was: Leica Summicron M 35mm F/2 ASPH Black E39 #11879. If that means anything to you lol. I have tried other leica lenses like the 35mm f/1.4 and the 50mm f/2 APO and I wasnt blown away. But THAT 35mm f/2 is just so noticeably different and gorgeous. It almost like... it has more contrast and sharpness towards the center of the lens, and wide open it just makes the prettiest bokeh without being distracting. It was the first time I looked at a photo and said "wow. I can SEE the difference."
@@RumoHasIt Have to agree with you. The big difference for me is the feel of the lens. A lot of reviewers will say the build quality feels close to Leica, but honestly I don't think they do. I own Voigtlanders, some Chinese lenses, and a bunch of Leica glass all the way from 50s to modern lens. The Leica have a very unique feel and response. The focus throws feel very loose when you first try them, yet they are extremely accurate when focusing. Same with the aperture rings. Most of the Leica rings feel looser and easier to move than you would expect, yet they still have a very noticeable click at each stop. Every non-Leica lens I have used comprises somewhere that the Leica version just doesn't. Does not mean it's best image quality or value, but the best Leica glass does offer a unique experience.
Wow. It looks like coverage on the MF sensor is very nice without any hard vignetting.
It has a bit in the extreme corners for sure. cropping to 4:5 eliminates it, which is why most of these are 1:1 also because I've been on a 1:1 kick lately anyway :)
@@benjhaisch I really appreciate the information. You are the only one I could find that put it on a GFX.
solid video Benji!
I’d love to see a comparison against the Voigtlander 50f1.2 Nokton
Didn't know you're in Grit City. We have two UA-cam photo bros (that I'm aware of) in town.
Love the video - as usual. Was a tad hard to see some of the lenses on the table due how shallow the DOF is.
Holding out for the 75! Great review🙌
The Voigtlander 75 f1.5 is fantastic, seriously worth a look.
@@marcusoutdoors4999the images from that lens looks gorgeous, for sure.
I have the Nokton 75 1.5, it's tack sharp wide open.
Awesome that it fits the medium format. How much sensor coverage were you able to get? I would like to try on my gfx.
I liked the slight swirly bokeh you got there too!
The corners are slightly visible but it’s still a really nice look cropped even to 4:5
BTW the old EF Canon 50mm f1.2 L lens front elements would move in & out like this and to make that lens weather resistant all you had to do is install a UV filter or any filter for that matter.
The 50/1.4 looks like a fun option for Z when the discontinued 50 APO dries up.
another option besides voigtlander and zeiss.
Great review and glad to see actual comparison shots instead of just a talking head. I shot Leica in the film days but once I tried an SLR I loved seeing my depth of field so I never went back. And now that mirrorless is here you can shoot at lower shutter speeds with IBIS plus I can use all my old Nikon lenses. I compared my Nikon FE with a 35 F2Ais Nikkor with a Leica M6 and a 35F2 Summicron and shot for shot on slide film the only difference I could see was the Nikkor had more flare which videographers love. So after that I quit lusting after the Leica. Not saying that Leica isn’t in a class all by itself but they are a bit of a niesh product. Now Lens lab and this new company are bringing out competitive products so we could have a Leica camera with 3 lenses for under 20K. Regards Gerry
How does it compare to the ttartisan 50mm f1.4 that you also reviewed?
If differences are minimal, isn't ttartisan the better bang for the buck since it's much cheaper than thypoch?
so hard to know without having them both in at the same time.
@@benjhaischif you do a 35mm shoot out. I have the TT35F1.4 ASPH
Great review Benj! And nice photos, as always. Q: how well does this Typoch 50mm cover the Hassy X2D sensor? I’m looking for a good 50mm for my GFX and they gave the same sensor size 🤓
I covered everything but the absolute corners. So not full coverage but pretty close. Crop 5:4 and you’re there easy.
@@benjhaisch thanks!🙏
wishing they'll do a 105 macro!! PLeaseeee..... :)
Good for those who are in the market for a budget lens that performs well. Not for me. I don't like Thypoch's design or how they feel and use of it. Focus, aperture, size. My choice is Leica. Your milege may vary.
I don’t mind the design (but prefer the Leica) although I think the aperture spacing is kind of weird. Not sure if those are difference makers for me though given then massive price difference.
I've started using the 4:3 crop on my photos and now I won't go back
Wonder how it would look on my M3 and film.
If you Buy it, the. You can post a picture.
Dude, what did you do to your M11 to make it look like a M11P from the front?! Looks so nice without the top script too.
Looks like he maybe replaced the Leica badge with the black screw... I too am curious how this was done. Please let us know Benj!
@@bobbleczar @Cammackey had a posted a story on threads I think where he was man handling the Leica red dot off of his M11 and installing a brassed "Dot" that was given to him by Benj. Cam stated that Benj got them from a subscriber that was manufacturing them and gave him a set too test out?
Can anybody tell me what’s the deal with masking leica’s logo?😅
They actually copied the optical formula of the 35/50 lux Asph, so of course the image taken looks very familiar
It's a shame that it's not perfectly calibrated to the rangefinder. That's a big no no.
Production models are
There is no substitute for a Leica Lux 50. Get a loan, buy used, it's that one time we deserve the best.
Have you tried the Thypoch. I am looking forward to trying it once available in stores. As a 50 shooter the Lux was something I
thought I might be willing to splurge on even though I think it is outrageously overpriced. But the more pics I see and reviews I see/read make me think the Thypoch would be the overall better choice for my needs. But looking forward to trying and then making judgments.
I suppose the actual question is Thypoch vs. Voigtlander.
Post the video so we can see
hi, thanks; Benj, if you were to buy a Leica like 50 for yourself; would be TTArt 50/1,4 Asph. or this one? Personally I like the bokeh of the TTArtisan more... And it's much cheaper.
Sort of depends on if you can calibrate a lens or not. I *think* the Thypoch is lighter/shorter too, but I could be wrong
@@benjhaisch calibration is not needed, I connect all Leica manuals to Nikon Z - via a regular adapter or TechArt-02
my question is only about your optical impressions on both lenses
@@pk6221 it’s so hard to know not having both in hand at the same time
@@benjhaisch ok, that is proper diversification and mature sponsors management ; )
joke, appreciate your work very much
Is it just me, or is the optical vignetting pretty bad?
On the M11 or medium format?
@@benjhaisch definitely on medium format (5:53), but it's there on the ZF as well (8:12). But maybe I am just nitpicking. The Leica is seems only slightly better. And in every other aspect the Simera seems pretty great.
Hi, a question - what grip do you use for your m11?
idsworks.store/benjhaisch
Well, every M shooter needs one Summilux…anything beyond that is optional 😁😁😁
Been shooting for years. Don’t need a Summilux so where did you get your information from?
An M with grip… there’s something so wrong about that :/
I used to feel the same, but I really recommend giving it a try if you don't care too much about how your cam looks. I copped a KameraKraft grip with low expectations and the comfort and handling blew me away.
@@coapk1 haram
Looks like a rebranded Helios 44-2, even from uncorrected spherical aberration usually associated with Leica lenses.
looks nothing like that to me haha
What? This is wild. Maybe at F8 😂
Leica... you get what you pay for. I didn't know that there was a 3rd party glass except Voightlander.
Although those images aren't too bad.
Zeiss, too, although Cosina makes both Zeiss & Voigtländer lenses…the Zeiss 35/1.4, although huge, is optically very interesting!
@@jameskezman ZEISS!! forgot about them.thanks!!
Buy a Leica and dont use a Leica lens is very sad. If you cannot afford Leica glass, dont buy a Leica. If you are poor, stay poor, no worries.
Troll 🙄
Peep the username and id just assume it’s a full troll account :)
@@benjhaisch I should have done that first 😅
@@benjhaisch but... it is true what I said, ah?
@@RumoHasIt It could be worst. I could be a wedding photographer.
