Obscure optics manufacturer Light Lens Lab has shared the first product shots and sample images for its new 50mm F1. 2 ASPH ‘1966’ lens for Leica M-mount camera systems. As reported by Photo Rumors, the lens shown off in the images is a prototype, but it’s probably safe to assume the image quality won’t change much from now to the production version - for better or worse.
No detailed specifications have been revealed, but from looking at the images, it’s clear the lens features a 15-blade aperture diaphragm and has an aperture range of F1. 2 through F16. It also appears as though at least some of the optical elements are coated.
The focus ring features a scalloped and knurled design, while the aperture ring is just knurled. There are also distance markings towards the rear of the lens. Below is a sample gallery of images, posted to Flickr by Photo Rumors:
