Love the video! The lens is super dreamy and beautiful. A quick suggestion about the VO - I don’t know what you’re recording setup is like, but honestly it just sounds to me like you’re eating the mic a little bit. Before you go out and buy a bunch of stuff, or spend hours fussing around with EQ and post-processing, try experimenting with mic placement. Where to place your mic depends on the polar pattern, but also your room, and how much you feel like projecting your voice. I’d recommend starting at least 8” away, and testing back from there.

This pretty much describes the optical characteristics of the Meyer Optik Gorlitz Oreston/Pentacon 50mm f/1.8. Either can be had for about US$100. You should try one if you haven't already. Be that as it may, the Light Lens Lab is a beauty. I wanted one of their 50mm f/2 Elcan replicas in M mount but waited too long. Congratulations on your new lens.

Someone need to call on the emperor on that one, cause he has no cloths. You can practically get the same effect of shallow contrast and a dreamy look with some good vintage lenses at a fraction of the cost. There is a reason why Cook lenses were made for cinematography. They were not made for photos without context, they serve a plot, an era, and the backdrop.

Great review of what appears to be a great lens with a great history. I already paid on pre-order based on Ted of The Art of Photography’s review of a preproduction lens. This lens suits my style of photography which will supplement my other Leica lenses. Although current lenses are clinically sharp with high contrast, this doesn’t suit me for my use. Although I love my 28mm, I wanted to get back using a 50mm more….after all I got started in photography using that focal length. Keep up with your great reviews….try the Light Lens Lab f/2 35mm 8 element in LTM39 mount, hear it is a great reproduction of Leica’s 35mm Sumicron.

Hi Brandon. Thanks for the great review. Been playing around with my lens and I noticed something odd. Not sure if it's my copy or if it is normal as they say. If you go above f8 I notice a blue haze in the center of the frame? I reached out to Light Lens and this is what they told me: This is a normal phenomenon with original SPII as the internal reflection has caused the lens to have diffraction under low T-Stops. It is advise to not shoot SPII under F8. It was only very recently that we discovered this phenomenon. Either our production and distribution network was not aware of this phenomenon due to the lens usually being shot under f/8. Do you get this haze on your lens over f8? Thanks Brandon!

Wait you have the Fujinon 50 f1? I remember you doing a video a long time ago. How do you like it now? I’ve had mine for a couple years now and I’ve gotten some nice shots with it. But I’ve always been annoyed at the high amount of lateral CA (is that what it’s called?). And now that I have the Viltrox 75 1.2, which is several times cheaper and has much less CA, I’m beginning to get even more annoyed with the 50. I will keep the 50 though, because it’s able to get me photos that none of my other lenses can. Do you still use yours?
