Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 38 reviews.
Love the size and quality of the les
Very sharp wide-open. Great little lens. Looking forward to testing this one out on my travels.
For me one of the travel lenses: extremely compact, easy to use with an unbelievable image quality at a really affordable price.
Still have to try it! But it’ll be soon. UPDATE: As promised, here are a couple of pics.
It’s a very nice and compact lens. The bokeh is beautiful and distinctive, and the sharpness is good. Extending and retracting the lens is not always completely smooth, and it’s also quite disappointing that the aperture ring is not click-stopped. As a result, you sometimes accidentally change the aperture while focusing, which is very inconvenient.It’s also a shame that standard filters cannot be mounted on the lens. On the other hand, a UV filter is included, which is a nice bonus.Focusing is smooth, and although I was initially concerned about the infinity lock, it works perfectly fine. That said, I personally wouldn’t have minded if it had been left off altogether.
I like the look and style of that lens, it makes a lot of fun to take photos with this lens and additional it looks very stylish on my Leica M EV1.
Great lens for the price. It‘s light and surprisingly sharp, even wide open. The option to collapse the lens is great. I only wished it had a clickable aperture ring then it would be perfect.
It’s a beautifully designed lens with a certain vintage charm, especially when you use it with cameras that bring this retro design back to life. It makes you feel closer to classic photography. The bokeh could be more distinctive.
The manual is not thorough I had difficulties operating the lens at first. It would not take images. However, after so much setting searching I managed to operate. The manual does not detail operating steps. Also no enough videos are available online nor on the website
I had been looking for a pancake lens to pair with my ZF and the Eureka 28mm compliments well the retro design of the camera. It performs really well and the light nibble I flaw is the really strong vignetting (it's minor because easily fixed in post).
Tack sharp from wide open! Only one dissatisfied point is… actual pan-focusing zone seems to be… a little bit narrower than the lens markers. Others will be good.
Delivery got delayed, but.... the lens is a beauty !! I just love the way it looks so premium !! Didn't use it a lot yet, the initial photos looked amazing - I couldn't be happier
The focus tab is very easy and fast way to focus. Once you master how to focus images are sharp. I like the small size of the lens, too. Perhaps only complaint is the lens cap. Since it doesn't screw or clip it could easily fall off and lose. Aperture ring is small by design. No real complaint there. Version 2 could have clicked apertures, tho. Overall I find the lens a joy to take photos with.
Tinny but mighty - its a gem!
Arrived quickly with no issues. Nicely packaged and the lens is very well made. I haven’t made any images yet but looking forward to it.
The wait was totally worth it. This lens is incredibly compact—it’s almost like a body cap when mounted on the camera. Carrying it around all day for street photography is effortless, making it perfect for travel and daily documentation. Compared to my previous 28mm lens, this one is lighter and more convenient.
Despite its small size, it has a decent minimum focusing distance, allowing you to shoot close-up details like coffee and small street objects. Its shooting flexibility exceeds my expectations.
Nice quality built and super compact. Shipment time somewhat disappointing.
It‘a a beauty and the pictures are sharp and crisp. People ask you, what lens it is, when they see it 🤗
Great solidly built lens . Optics render beautifully
Happy with the images this lens makes. Its build quality is also satisfying. I am looking forward to the new Eureka 28mm f2.8.
Black paint looks very nice! Optical quality is as good as expected.
Happy with delivery process. Lens is excellent and exactly what was expected. Product is high quality, looks great and excellent to shoot with! Great addition to my lens line up.
Très bel objet
Very compact, great feel on the camera, the reviews of this lens are right on the money - it is exactly what I was looking for.
Nice packaging too
Didn’t realise the front would be white and not silver
Nice lettle lens. Only negativ point: you have to turn the camera to read the apperture....
Doesn’t work as described.
If it had threads for filters and a hood it would have been perfect.
The lens is everything I hoped it would be and it looks great adapted my Sony rangefinder style cameras. Don't ever change the focus lock like you have with the Simera models. I probably would have bought one of those as well if you still had the original design available. Don't ever take it off this one.
The price and shipping are the best. If you want thypoch lenses, buy them here. They are the best.
Pure magic!!
This lens is perfect for creating vintage-style photos. I love it.
I love using this lens! I was drawn in by the vintage aesthetic.
The lens definitely has a unique rendition and I love it. However, the quality control could have been bettered. The first copy I got has a bit loud focusing noise and the second copy I received has a bit imperfection on the surface coating. For a lens at this price and with such elegant design, you’d expecting state of art build quality, which might still be a bit lacking at this moment.
This lens is so perfect, it was worth waiting so long for, very compact and silky smooth operation.
