Brightin Star's Artistic Lens Arrives: A Kickstarter Exclusive for Leica M.
Brightin Star's APO 35mm f/1.7 ASPH. for Leica M-Mount finally steps into the light, and it's choosing an unexpected path. Announced at CP+ 2026, this stylish optic skips the usual retail route, debuting first on Kickstarter. That is a curious, almost intimate way to launch something so refined. We appreciate the boldness. It feels like a curated invitation rather than a standard release. For those drawn to artistic tools, this pairs nicely with our piece on Leica Lux 2.0, another exercise in creative vision.
Light Lens Lab Challenges Leica with Apochromatic M-Mount Lens
Light Lens Lab is opening pre-orders for its first apochromatic M-mount lens, a move that brings true color correction to a more approachable price point. Leica's glass remains the gold standard, but that luxury often stays out of reach for many shooters. This new offering feels like a curated invitation to explore the craft without the usual barriers. For us, it's another sign that the photography world is widening its circle, much like the creative energy we celebrate in our street photography coverage.
Vintage Charm, Modern Needs: A Look at the Thypoch Ksana 35mm F2
The third-party M-mount market has grown crowded, but the Thypoch Ksana 35mm F2 carves out a distinct space by courting nostalgia without sacrificing the technical demands of modern sensors. It sits on the budget end, yet its promise of a vintage character feels intentional rather than a cost-cutting compromise. We find that balance genuinely compelling, especially for street shooters who crave imperfection with reliability. For more on that energy, our piece on finding joy in street photography pairs nicely with this lens's ethos.
Voigtländer's Pocket-Sized 90mm f/4 Lens: Precision in a Compact Form.
Cosina has fully revealed the Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 90mm f/4 Close Focus VM-Mount lens ahead of its August launch, and we are quietly charmed. This pocket-sized prime proves that precision need not come in a bulky package. It is a lens for the discerning eye, one that values both optical fidelity and the freedom to move lightly. For more on finding beauty in everyday frames, our piece "Finding Joy on the Streets, One Frame After Fashion" offers a fitting companion.
