I happen to like 75mm and have spotted 3 new ones that might be interesting.

1. Zenitar 75mm 1.4 Helios

2. Voigtländer Ultron 75mm 1.9

3. Light Lens Lab Cooke Speed Panchro 75mm f2 SPII replica.

The Speed Panchro is the most interesting to me. The originals are a bit expensive and hopefully the new ones will be a bit more affordable.

Thank you!

I like 75s too. The Ultron looks particularly interesting IMO.

Yes potentially for me too, I'd like a 6/4 design. Or image quality that is similar to that.

They could at least provide some samples with that Zenitar. I'm not sure who'd order the lens without seeing a single image taken with it.

It seems there will be a 7artisan 75mm F2.0 in Leica M too but there is no any confirmation from 7artisan yet.

The Speed Panchro II replica also available in 50mm focal length. I hope they can help bring down the price of the original one but it is unlikely to happen...

I can only hope for a good price. At least their 35mm Summicron replica seems to be selling if you look at the fredmiranda forum. But $1099 and $999 is quite a lot for them.

Thanks for mentioning the 7artisans 75mm f2. I will be looking for eventual samples.

I have seen one gallery. Don't remember the site and they don't show up on google. But there is a video on youtube with some of the shots.
At first glance my impression is that it's a newer softer bokeh than a Helios 40 and therefore not as good as it or a Biotar.

Yes speaking of that Meyer Optik Görlitz is making a new" Biotar 75 f1.5 II".

Leaked image of the Ultron 75mm.

Looks good if you ask me.

The 7Artisans 75mm F1.25, wide-open on the Leica M9.



This lens is far better than the reviewers would have you believe- my guess is that can't focus it correctly. I set the adjustable Cam for my M9, it is spot-on.

At under $450, and F1.25: it fills the 75mm focal length for me.

Yes it seems pretty good if you want a low f/number. I might get one used in the future.

Good news!

TTArtisan has 2 new 75mm lenses soon to be released.

Depending on price I'd really like a fat boy Biotar.

75mm f1.5 Biotar copy.

The other one is AF 75mm f2 and not as exciting.



Also here is an image of the previously mentioned LLL Cooke Speed Panchro 75mm f2 replica.

Wow, each of the three somehow manages to cheapen the name of a classic lens.

The Zenitar at least has the KMZ connection, I suppose.

75mm f1.5 looks interesting!

I got a used one for $300. I like the FOV and bokeh combination it delivers.

I hope this famous Biotar won't be overpriced like that awful $1400 MOG rerelease. Judging by their previous release of the Trioplan 100/2.8 for a bit over $200 this new 6/4 lens release should also be affordable.

I really appreciate the creation of replicas. Makes them available to more people as long as they don't price them like the old ones. I enjoy using the ttartisan Trioplan replica for example.

And Light Lens Lab is above the others in my opinion. They obtain an original and supposedly measure each element and even try to replicate the glass recipe. But I can't confirm that.
But there has been complaints over at the fredmiranda forum concerning their 8 element Leica 35mm f2 with decentering issues.

Here some of the few shots I've been able to find from the Zenitar. And it looks really bad unfortunatly. Or maybe it's bad technique.

It has been released released - the starting price is $269. Not bad, I guess.

I was hoping for $200 but yeah 269 isn't too bad. I want to see full resolution samples before a potential purchase. So far the paid reviewers haven't shared those.

In the samples they have shared so far my observation is that at the edges, the bright outline of the bokeh balls isn't uniform along the whole edge. That might be the adapter blocking some of the light.

When I look at the original Biotar that happens on some samples but not on others.

Other than that it seems like a good replica. I really like that they also kept the outer design unlike that other company.

Next I'd like a W-Nikkor 3.5cm f1.8 LTM or a Canon 35mm f1.8 LTM.

The Speed Panchro is the most interesting to me. The originals are a bit expensive and hopefully the new ones will be a bit more affordable.


I was also exited after the Cooke 75mm announcement and recently I wrote an email to LLL about this lens. Unfortunately, the told me the project is suspended in order to give priority to other lenses.
I really hoped to see this 75mm, I have bought their 50mm f2 and I love it.

Regards.
