I love this damn lens

The Thypoch Eureka 50mm f2, hello! This might be the best value to performance ratio out of any lens I've ever tested on the Leica M system. It's not without its quirks, but if you like portability, superb image quality, and a nice looking lens at a sliver of the cost of a Leica lens... the Eureka is your answer. Watch till the end to see if I picked this up for my own personal kit! All images in this video were shot on my Leica MP using the Thypoch Eureka lens. The rolls of C41 are Kodak Gold shot at box speed and the monochrome rolls are Kodak Tri-X pushed to 800. All frames were souped and scanned at home. ---- If you are in the market for Thypoch products, you can support the channel by making your purchase using my affiliate link below (THANK YOU)!
