When I saw they are doing cinema style lenses I finally made my decision and I ended my several months quest for the best video lenses. And now seeing you agree it is just an additional confirmation, as I liked all the same lenses you liked before.

    These lenses look amazing. I’m guessing that lens mount are not user replaceable (which is a shame, I’m sure most people would definitely pay extra for a kit of extra mounts).
    With that said, the M mount appears to be the more appealing option if they retain the same close focusing capability.

  • @EinsteinRiesenfeld

    M 0.8 lenses have the exact same optics as the M Summilux Aspherical lenses. In contrast, the Thypoch lenses don't look like Leica Summilux ASPH to me. Additionally the chromatic aberration on the Thypoch 35mm is significant, comparable to what you'd find with Schneider Xenon cine lenses.

    Was looking for this. I was looking at the still version of these in comparison to the Leica lenses for an M camera. Ended up with the Summilux-m 50mm, which is amazing for the reasons you mentioned here, sharp but still swirly/character. The Thypoch versions are really only the slightest notch down in quality for a much lower price.
    Was looking at getting a the still version of the 28mm, but with the Cine's out I'll have to go with those. I think they'll lose rangefinder coupling with the Leica M, but I can use them with an EVF/Liveview, but mostly going on the Komodo. I guess the Arles could be speedboosted, but these are so tiny and have that classic summilux character.
    FYI, Summilux-c and summilux-m don't have the same look. M 0.8 is based on summilux-m (and Noctilux optional 50mm), and now they have those in a better body, the "Hugo" line. $15,000 a lens. Thypoch it is!
