The Light Lens Lab Z21 50mm f/1.5 is not about perfection. Inspired by the legendary Angénieux S21, this character lens brings cinematic rendering, field curvature and vintage soul to modern Leica M cameras. In this review, I explore its behaviour in real-world portrait and automotive shoots.

The Leica Noctilux-M 35 f/1.2 ASPH is Leica’s first ultra-fast 35mm Noctilux, offering extreme subject separation, compact handling, and a versatile wide-angle view.

Learn about its focusing, color rendition, cinematic qualities, and why this lens could be the most usable Noctilux Leica has ever made.
