The optics
The glass
Eleven elements,
hand-figured
A 35mm f/1.2 cut and polished from low-dispersion glass, then figured by hand to a quarter wavelength. It draws with a clarity that survives being printed three feet wide.
The body
Brass core,
magnesium skin
A milled brass chassis under a magnesium shell, weather-sealed to ten points. The shutter is rated to 500,000 actuations, and the dials are mechanical, marked, and meant to be felt without looking.
