In its collapsed state it takes up less space, in order to take pictures with it, you always have to extend it first though. The mechanism feels solid and sturdy, in its extended stage the front cam can be locked by a slight rotation.<\/p>\n<p>The lens also ships with a clamp-on UV\/Protection filter and a clamp-on lens hood. Both can be used separately or at the same time. I did not see a way to attach normal screw on filters.<\/p>\n<p>If you still want to be able to collapse or extend the lens with hood or filter attached, you need to seriously tighten their locking screws, as there will be nothing else left to grab the moving cam with the optical block.<\/p>\n<p>The focus ring has a nice, even resistance and turns exactly 180\u00b0 from the minimum focus distance of 1.0 m to infinity. Like the M-mount versions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-thypoch-simera-28mm-1-4\/\">Thypoch Simera 28mm 1.4<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-thypoch-simera-35mm-1-4\/\">35mm 1.4<\/a> also this lens features an infinity lock that somewhat doubles as a focus lever.<\/p>\n<p>The aperture ring is located at the front. It features full stop markings which are not equidistantly spaced and no click stops.<\/p>\n<p>The lens brings up the correct 50\/75mm frameline set. Without the hood there is no rangefinder blockage, when using the hood alone there is still none at infinity but a tiny bit at the minimum focus distance, when using the hood and the UV filter there is a tiny bit at infinity and a little at the minimum focus distance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56024\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56024\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56024\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Comparison_Thypoch_28mm_1.4_50mm_2.0_Eureka_Simera_Mr.Ding_.jpg\" alt=\"thypoch eureka 50mm 2.0 collapsible compact leica m10 m11 m9 m8 m10r review 42mp 24mp 61mp contrast sharpness bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Comparison_Thypoch_28mm_1.4_50mm_2.0_Eureka_Simera_Mr.Ding_.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Comparison_Thypoch_28mm_1.4_50mm_2.0_Eureka_Simera_Mr.Ding_-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Comparison_Thypoch_28mm_1.4_50mm_2.0_Eureka_Simera_Mr.Ding_-768x259.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56024\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thypoch Simera 28mm 1.4 | Thypoch Eureka 50mm 2.0 | Mr. Ding 50mm 1.1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While this Thypoch Eureka 50mm 2.0 is a small lens in its collapsed state, there are also some 50mm M-mount lenses available that are as small as this lens, yet don&#8217;t even need to be extended.

On the Sony camera I finetuned focus with liveview.<\/p>\n<p>On both cameras we also see the negative impact of focus shift at this distance. If you used the rangefinder\/hard stop to focus it takes stopping down to f\/11 for the deepter depth of field to counteract the negative impact of field curvature.<\/p>\n<p>On the Sony camera &#8211; where I was able to set more precise focus at f\/2.0 &#8211; it still takes stopping down to f\/8.0 for the central part of the frame to look as good again as it did at f\/2.0.<\/p>\n<p>On the Leica the midframe looks pretty good from f\/2.0 and also the corners don&#8217;t look that bad, for best across frame performance I would still use f\/11. If taking focus shift out of the equation maybe also f\/8.0 would be sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>On the Sony camera we see a slight midzone dip, but the corners look very similar to using this lens on the Leica camera. With finetuning focus maybe even f\/5.6 would be sufficient for good across frame performance.<\/p>\n<p>What is the takeaway message here? The performance at f\/2.0 is pretty decent. By latest f\/11 the lens shows good across frame performance in any condition and on any camera. If you are using a camera equipped with liveview, I would recommend to use it when taking pictures in the f\/2.8 to f\/5.6 range due to the focus shift issues though.<\/p>\n<h3><b>portrait distance <\/b><b>1.5 m (24mp Sony A7III and Leica M10)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>For portraiture it isn&#8217;t so important how flat the field is, it is more interesting to see what the sharpness is like when focused at different parts of the frame to take field curvature out of the equation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20406\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20406\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20406\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/portrait_distance.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/portrait_distance.png 3000w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/portrait_distance-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/portrait_distance-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/portrait_distance-800x533.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20406\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">positions of crops in the frame<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We will be looking at 100% crops from the 24mp Sony A7III and the Leica M10.

This lens shows some of the strongest focus shift I came across so far and this is definitely something to watch out for. If you buy this lens to mostly use it at f\/2.0 &#8211; or if your camera is equipped with liveview &#8211; this won&#8217;t be an issue, if you often find yourself in the f\/2.8 to f\/4.0 range on the other hand, it might be.<\/p>\n<p>The mechanics for collapsing and extending the lens left a solid impression. I used the feature a few times for the camera with lens to have a smaller footprint in the bag, but left it extended most of the time, so that it is ready to use when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Reviewing this lens was a good reminder to never judge a book by its cover though. From its outside vintage appearance I also expected a vintage optical design similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-light-lens-lab-50mm-2-0\/\">Light Lens Lab 50mm 2.0<\/a>&nbsp;or <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-light-lens-lab-50mm-2-0-speed-panchro-ii\/\">SP II<\/a>. But what I found was a lens that is surprisingly sharp across frame from f\/2.0, corrects most optical aberrations well and creates undistracting out of focus areas.<\/p>\n<p><em>buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/store.thypoch.com\/collections\/all?ref=lyiftukn\">manufacturer&#8217;s shop<\/a> (use code PRNET for free shipping) | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=thypoch+50mm+2.0&amp;_sacat=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&amp;siteid=0&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.de\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=thypoch+50mm+2.0&amp;_sacat=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&amp;siteid=77&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.de<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/bhpho.to\/4dSsXs2\">B&amp;H<\/a> (advertisement\/affiliate links) for <strong>$579 <\/strong>(aluminium) to <strong>$859 <\/strong>(brass)<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Alternatives<\/h2>\n<p>Collapsible lenses are rare birds and I haven&#8217;t reviewed another one yet.
