[6.1 x 5 x 3.7"] This lens is beautiful looking and has exquisite build quality. It has a metal hood can slide on cap that are nice touches for a low cost lens. The aperture ring is fluid and clicks nicely into place. The lock at infinity isn’t that helpful for me but may be for others. Optically this lens isn’t perfect like the Leica glass. However, the photos have a ton of feel and style to them that I prefer this one to my Zeiss and the Leica 28mm that I rented. The price is exceptional for what you get with the lens, too. Super happy with it. The only downside I see is that it’s a bit large for a 28mm, but it’s not really an issue for me, but I mention it anyway for those who value compact primes for street.

[f/1.4] Great 28mm 1.4. Built great optics are very good for the price.

[Full-Frame] This lens is for anyone looking for a slightly wider view and it didnt disappoint.  Its also a piece of mind that you can abuse this lens and feel like you have to protect it with your life at every corner.  Heres my quick point:


Pros:
-robust build quality 
-price point
-great contrast with black and white 
-leica like appearance
-excellent bokeh
-short focus throw


cons:
-sticks out
-heavy
-missing f11 (no click)
-soft corners at f1.4-f2
-some flaring (hood must purchase seperately)

[Full-Frame] Great quality lens. Needed no focus adjustment. Amazing low light photos. You see a portion of the lens in the finder but not enough to create a problem. I use it on my Leica M8 renewed my interest in shooting.

[Full-Frame] After getting used to the somewhat-controversial ergonomics of this lens, I can say for sure that the image quality produced by this lens keeps me coming back to it. The balance between bokeh and sharpness is perfect, and it has that pop.

The only weakness of this lens (in my opinion) is the size and weight. It seems that 28/1.4 is not going to make for a small lens, unless compromises, and this is as good as it's going to get. But the only smaller lens with similarly enviable image quality is probably the Leica 28/2 Asph, which costs about 7x as much at the time of writing, and is just a different character of rendering altogether. I think the Thypoch 28/1.4 a no-brainer for M-mount users.

[28mm] This lens performs way above its price

[75°] I bought this lens 2 months ago and it takes a little getting use to. Its amazingly sharp throughout the entire f stop range and comes very close to my Voigtlander 50mm Apo. I mount it on my Sony a7cii with a Voigtlander close up M to E adapter. I would highly recommend this lens. I have to say its a lot of fun to use.

[FUJIFILM X] I was on the fence on whether or not I wanted to keep my Leica M10 and it all came down to whether or not I was going to like this Thypoch 50mm f1.4. After using the lens, I decided to keep it all! Build quality is nice and it's not too heavy for being a full metal lens! Love that it comes with a nice lens hood, or just a circular metal cap if I choose not to use the hood. I've used the new leica summilux 50 1.4 and although great, I felt so much guilt for the price I paid! This lens is a fraction of the price and the quality IMO, is just as nice if not better!

[Full-Frame] Light, sharp, sturdy. Perfect for verticle panoramas and focus stacking multiple images.
