Leica news, before it happens

 
Shotenkobo is teasing two new M-mount lenses that will make a world premiere at the 2026 CP+ show in Japan this week:

DK-Optic CHIARO 75mm f/1.9 lens for M-mount

This mid-telephoto lens reliably reproduces the rendering philosophy and classic appearance inspired by the classic Dallmeyer “Super Six” 3-inch F1.9 lens, using modern materials and manufacturing precision. The natural compression and three-dimensional effect of 75mm, combined with the rich bokeh of the F1.9 aperture, create portraits that softly highlight the subject. Wide open, the lens produces soft gradations and an airy feel, while stopping down slightly changes the image to a clear, sharp focus, making it suitable for a wide range of photography, from portraits to snapshots and still lifes. The lineup includes two versions: a blue-coated version that enhances color and contrast, and an uncoated version that allows you to enjoy more classic flare and light bleeding.

DK-Optic already has the Impastolite 50mm f/1.5 lens for M-mount that can be purchased on eBay (additional information is available here):

Optics PEACE 35mm f/1.4 E41 Classical lens for M-mount

Based on the original 35mm Summilux, commonly known as the “Steel Rim,” this model faithfully reproduces the original design and taste while enhancing the rigidity and stability of the mechanical structure. Furthermore, it also includes a reproduction of the “OLLUX” hood, a rare design from the E41 model, as well as related accessories.

Here is what else is exepcted ot be on display at the 2026 CP+ show in Japan (February 26-March 1):
