CP+ 2017: HandeVision shows off prime lenses for mirrorless and Leica M Originally announced in late 2015, German-Chinese company HandeVision's collection of Leica-inspired, full-frame 'Iberit' prime lenses is on display at this year's CP+ tradeshow in Yokohama, Japan.
HandeVision is a brand created through cooperation between German lens manufacturer IB/E Optics and the Chinese company Shanghai Transvision Photographic Equipment Co – the company behind the Kipon brand. Reportedly, the brand name came about because the first three letters - ‘Han’ signify 'China' in Mandarin, while the following two letters ‘De’ represent the first two letters of 'Deutschland'.
All of the Iberit series are available in Leica M, Leica T, Sony E and Fujifilm X mount, and the Iberit 50mm F2. 4 will cost

The Ibelux 40mm F0. 85 is a different beast altogether, The world's fastest commercially-produced lens, the Ibelux is available in Sony E, Canon EF and M43 mounts, and weighs in at a hefty 2. 6 pounds (1. 2kg). As you can see, it looks more like a short telephoto prime than a 40mm. Costing around $2000, the Ibelux might be of some interest to filmmakers, but we'd think twice before buying it for stills shooting.
