like the "dreamy" quality you're able to achieve - what do you think about this lens for the Leica T (APS-C sensor)? great content.

While the mechanics seem pretty, well... questionable, I love the form factor and the personality of the footage / photos. Say, what lovely silver lens is that on your S5MIIX at 7:13?

Ms Optics lenses seem so interesting and who does love something hand made in small batches. But from online reviews/tests most of the lenses seem to be on the softer side without and really crazy character that would make you look past the lens inherent softness.

Fascinating lens. I almost feel like the optic would have benefited from a slightly bigger form factor, not much, but there exist pancake 28mm lenses that have actual aperture rings. The results from the crazy-bright aperture on the pancake are… interesting. And it looks decent enough stopped down. Expensive, tho,

There are only two German words worth remembering. One is Bratwurst, and the other is Scheiße. This lens certainly belongs in the latter category. You can keep your Leicas.
