DK-Optic Chiaro 3-inch 76mm f/1.9 M

A Tribute to an Optical Legend 
Widely revered as the “Holy Grail” of mid-20th-century portrait and cinema photography, the Super Six 3-inch (76mm) f/1.9 needs no introduction among seasoned vintage lens connoisseurs. In its era, it represented the absolute pinnacle of immense light-gathering, a massive image circle, and ultimate spatial separation. Its magical ability to seemingly “carve” the subject straight out of the background creates an atmosphere that remains as highly coveted today as it was decades ago. Driven by pure passion, DK-Optic has flawlessly resurrected this masterpiece, combining its vintage soul with the extreme precision of modern industrial manufacturing.

Pure Optical Recreation
We engineered a 1:1 true-to-original restoration without any clinical modern “additives.” We have faithfully reconstructed the massive glass elements of this classic medium-telephoto, strictly adhering to its legendary 6-elements-in-4-groups optical configuration.

Signature Rendering & Character 
Rejecting the sterile, dry perfection of modern optics. As a 76mm ultra-fast lens, shooting wide open at f/1.9 delivers an astounding level of 3D subject isolation (often described as “cutting through air”) alongside its signature, highly painterly bokeh. Under backlit conditions, it produces rich, cascading “peacock feather” flares. Yet, as you stop down the aperture, the image rapidly builds contrast, transforming the lens into a flawless, razor-sharp portrait weapon.

Cinematic-Grade Artisanal Construction 
Leveraging our high-end cinema lens production capabilities, every mechanical and optical component is designed and hand-assembled in our bespoke optical workshop. Even with the massive glass volume required for a 3-inch lens, our cine-grade mechanical structures guarantee an incredibly smooth, buttery focusing experience.

Silver Chrome Edition & Mechanics
The main exterior barrel is crafted from high-strength 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum to significantly reduce weight. The core focusing helicoid and aperture mechanics are CNC 5-axis machined from aerospace-grade brass, providing an unparalleled, robust, heavy-duty mechanical feel.

Vintage Optics
We utilize large-diameter, decades-old New Old Stock (NOS) optical glass to perfectly replicate the exact refractive index and the dense, luminous clarity of the original vintage elements.

Specifications

• Focal Length: 76mm (3 inch)
• Format Coverage: 135 Full Frame (Note: The massive image circle of this lens comfortably covers 645 Medium Format sensors)

• Maximum Diameter: 62mm
• Weight: 364g (Brass/Aluminum hybrid construction, excluding caps)

DK-Optic Chiaro 2-inch 51mm f/1.9 M

A Tribute to an Optical Legend 
The mid-20th century British “Super Six” optical design needs no introduction. The Super Six 2-inch f/1.9 stands as one of the most legendary standard-focal-length lenses in the realm of painterly optics. In its era, it represented the absolute pinnacle of balancing extreme resolving power with dream-like bokeh. The unique “3D Pop” it delivers wide open remains just as highly coveted today as it was decades ago. Driven by pure passion, DK-Optic has flawlessly paid homage to this masterpiece, combining its vintage soul with the extreme precision of modern industrial manufacturing.

Pure Optical Recreation 
We have engineered a 1:1 true-to-original restoration without any modern optical compromises or clinical “additives.” We strictly adhered to the classic 6-elements-in-4-groups structural variation that made this historical design so famous.

Signature Rendering & Character 
Rejecting the sterile, dry perfection of modern lenses. Wide open at f/1.9, the Chiaro 2-inch delivers mesmerizing 3D spatial separation (subject isolation). The in-focus areas maintain astonishing sharpness, while the out-of-focus areas rapidly melt away into a signature, highly painterly bokeh. As you stop down the aperture, the image rapidly transitions, revealing exceptional contrast and high resolving power.

Cinematic-Grade Artisanal Construction 
Leveraging our high-end cinema lens production capabilities, every mechanical and optical component is designed and hand-assembled in our bespoke optical workshop—from the CNC 5-axis machining of core brass components to the grinding of decades-old New Old Stock (NOS) optical glass.

Silver Chrome Edition: 
The main exterior barrel is crafted from high-strength 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum to significantly reduce weight. The core focusing helicoid and aperture mechanics are machined from aerospace-grade brass, providing an unmatched, buttery-smooth tactile feel.

DK-Optic Impastolite 2-inch 51mm f1.5 M

A Tribute to an Optical Legend
The mid-20th century British 50mm f/1.5 (widely known as the legendary Septac) remains one of the rarest and most mythologized ultra-fast lenses in history. It represented the era’s absolute pinnacle of light-gathering capabilities and unique, painterly rendering. Its vintage atmosphere and signature look are just as highly sought after today as they were decades ago. Driven by pure passion, DK-Optic has flawlessly resurrected this masterpiece, combining its vintage soul with the extreme precision of modern industrial manufacturing.

Authentic Optical Recreation
Rather than injecting clinical modern corrections, we engineered a 1:1 true-to-original restoration. By refusing modern optical additives and utilizing a specially formulated vintage-style amber coating, we have faithfully preserved the distinctive, evocative flavor of the original glass.

Signature Rendering & Character
Rejecting the sterile, dry perfection of modern optics. Wide open at f/1.5, the Impastolite delivers a mesmerizing “Glow” alongside its signature, highly painterly, swirly bokeh. Under backlit conditions, it produces rich, cascading “peacock feather” flares. Yet, as you stop down the aperture, the image rapidly transitions, revealing exceptional contrast and high resolving power.

Cinematic-Grade Artisanal Construction

Did you know that every Pixii camera (all in-stock models are now on sale – up to $500 off) can record black-and-white DNG files? In this post, Pixii answers the question “Which one is the Monochrome Pixii camera?” Here is the story of how an engineering tool accidentally became Pixii’s most-loved feature:

The only camera of its kind.

The direct answer: Pixii is a monochrome camera — and so is every other Pixii. Every camera we ship can record a real black-and-white negative, a true DNG. Yet there is no dedicated monochrome-only model; don’t look for one in our store. That is what makes Pixii singular — the only camera on the market that turns a color sensor into a true black-and-white camera. Not a look, nor a preset. Every Pixii lets the photographer choose and switch to a genuine monochrome negative when they see fit.

A choice, not a filter.

Monochrome on Pixii is a decision you make before you press the shutter. Switch it on, and you stop seeing color – you start seeing light, shadow, and form. It is, to me, the purest form of photography: painting with light. Photographers tell us it changes the way they look at the world. That is the whole point.

The origin story

“Why are you even doing that?” you may ask. Honestly? It all started during development, as an engineering tool – my own way of looking at the raw pixel values. I was building our image signal processor (ISP) from scratch, and getting rid of the Bayer checkerboard made all the difference.

I left it as an option in a menu. A friend found it and loved it. Then another one did — and soon it became a hit with the test photographers we showed the camera to — an accidental setting, now Pixii’s most-loved feature.

What is the Pixii magic?

Building that ISP made it simply obvious: sensors are born monochrome. A pixel only counts light — color is not its concern. The Bayer filter is the only real difference between a color camera and a black-and-white one.

Once you have the exact spectral response of your filter, pixel by pixel, the math can run two ways. Forward, to reconstruct color — what every camera does. Or backward, to reconstruct the light itself. Our method for that second path is now patented: rebuilding the sensor’s native response into a standard DNG. The formula for a true black-and-white negative.

For the photographers

This one really speaks to photographers — you’ll know it from your own work. What Monochrome mode offers is an image you can truly develop. Not a JPEG whose tonal range is already fixed and limited, but a full-dynamic DNG — a real RAW file, up to 16 bits deep, in a standard, open format.

The whole editing process stays in your hands. Open it in Lightroom or Camera Raw and develop it to your taste — every tone, every highlight, every shadow, yours to work. Pixii adds a natural, film-like tone curve so it looks great straight away — yet the RAW stays untouched, free for you to develop your own way.

After the 35mm f/2 “Seven Elements”, Mandler will release a new 50mm f/1.4 PRE-ASPH “E46” lens for Leica M-mount based on the legendary Leica SUMMILUX‑M 1:1.4/50 PRE‑ASPH lens designed by Dr. Walter Mandler:

“In the world of Leica’s 50mm lenses, one optic has been the subject of conversation for more than half a century—the SUMMILUX‑M 1:1.4/50 PRE‑ASPH.

Back in the 1960s, when computers had yet to enter the realm of optical design and aspherical elements were still a rarity, a lens was born purely from the designer’s hand calculations and a deep, intuitive feel for glass. Such was the genesis of the Summilux‑M 1:1.4/50 E43.

As the gears of time turned into the 1990s, computer technology had become ubiquitous in optical design, and multi‑coating techniques had matured considerably. Through optimisation and refinement of the E43, Leica delivered its ultimate spherical answer to the standard 50mm Summilux: the 1:1.4/50 E46.

It carried forward the classic optical framework of the E43, yet introduced numerous thoughtful enhancements. In many ways, it struck a perfect equilibrium between sheer optical quality and distinctive character—achieving near‑aspherical resolution with a spherical construction, while retaining the uniquely alluring bokeh that spherical lenses are celebrated for.

To bring this legacy back to the hands of today’s photographers, we have meticulously refined it through four optical revisions and five rounds of prototyping, polishing every element until it sang.

The result is the Mandler 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE‑A.

More details will unfold over the course of this month. The Mandler 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE‑A will officially greet you in July—stay tuned.”
