DK-Optic lens reviews (M-mount)

By LR admin | Published: July 22, 2026

I recently reported on the DK-Optic lenses for M-mount and started looking for some reviews online. I found only two by Keith Wee:

DK-Optic Impastolite 2-inch (51mm) f/1.5 M-mount lens review – The Dallmeyer Septac Glow for Dreamers:

“The DK-Optic Impastolite 2-inch (51mm) ƒ1.5 M is one of those lenses that makes sense only when one stops asking the wrong questions. The wrong question is whether it is sharper, cleaner, or more corrected than the best modern 50mm lenses for it will never be. Attempts to post process shots from it to be more clinically correct is well, misunderstanding the raison d’être of this lens.”

DK-Optic Chiaro 3-inch (76mm) f/1.9 M-mount lens review – The Super Six Spirit Returns:

“The DK-Optic Chiaro 3-inch (76mm) ƒ1.9 M is an intriguing addition to the growing world of modern vintage-inspired M-mount lenses. What makes it interesting is not simply that it references the Dallmeyer Super Six 3-inch ƒ1.9. It is that DK-Optic appears to have approached the project with a clear understanding of what made the original desirable: not just speed, but rendering.”
