The brand new Qioptiq Linos d.Fine HR-M 2.8/80 lens has arrived in the office for testing. The lens is massive compared to the older inspec.x L 4/60 HR lens. The aperture ring is very smooth and the iris is circular. This lens is strictly focus by extension.
The lens will be here for about 2 months. The biggest challenge so far? The non standard M52 x 0.5 mounting threads. More on this and test results coming soon.
