Shoten Tribute 01 50mm f/1.1 LTM: Debut Lens from Shoten Kobo

auto_awesomePixelfetch Take

Shoten Kobo's debut lens is a 50mm f/1.1 manual focus optic for L39 screw mount, with a bundled ring for Leica M compatibility, at around USD $896. It references the 1950s Zunow 50mm f/1.1 in name and design, and is built to deliver soft, halation-style rendering at wide apertures rather than maximum resolution.
