SUMMARY
Meyer Optik Görlitz is re-entering the market with a new 42mm f/1.2 lens, available for Sony E, Canon RF, and Leica M mounts. The lens features a focal length between 35mm and 50mm, a fast f/1.2 aperture, and an internal design with 10 elements, including aspherical and floating elements. A standout aesthetic feature is its 15 red aperture blades, which are described as a bold, indulgent design choice rather than an optical performance enhancement. This handmade lens from Hamburg aims to offer distinct character in a market often filled with technically perfect but visually unmemorable optics.
