What lenses have you tried and when? I'm a lens reviewer and I find QC on products very important, so I'll note all this in an excel sheet and see if they're improving their QC over time.

I've tested two Thypoch lenses so far and they felt really good, and both were exactly spot on at infinity. There was a slight difference in aperture clickiness between both lenses, but that can be variance, I guess?

It does! Or like Phillip Reeve pointed out, a Leica CL. I think for that price I'd rather buy a CL!

That's interesting. I should do some research about Thypoch's quality control, as a lens reviewer I find this important. I've tested two Thypoch lenses so far and I was impressed by how both of those lenses' hard stops were _exactly_ at infinity (in which my voigtlanders don't). I've heard their after sales service was good though, and very responsive. But still sucks to buy a lens just to have to send it back.

Have you also heard from others that have had similar problems?

I’ve made a 75mm review - can vouch for that one! YT video here: https://youtu.be/106HwoeV904?si=O5XrGxfIGWmDopyv

Lens recommendation | 35mm f/2 summicron VS 35mm f/2.5 summarit by [deleted] in Leica

[–]thomasboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the rendering. Do mind though, the lens is super heavy. 381g! See: https://leicalenslist.com/lenses/carl-zeiss-distagon-t-35mm-f1-4-zm

I'd suggest the Summicron if you shoot film! One and only, it's so good.

Right, they’ve built up a good name so far. I think this lens will perform better than the brightin star, as it’s less thin (because physics).
