The previously rumored new Biotar 75 f/1.5 lens (first reported on LeicaRumors) is now officially announced and as already reported, it will be sold under the Meyer Optik Goerlitz Oprema Jena brand (net SE is behind the Oprema Jena and Meyer Optik brands). The lens funding will start soon on Kickstarter.
The Biotar 1.5/75 lens is very sharp in the center and is known for its 3D-like effect – see this first sample pictures from the new lens:
Oprema Jena is planning to bring back also the Biotar 58 and Flektogon lenses.
