 IBERIT. Pure Photography   The COMPACT IBERIT lenses are ideally suited for mirrorless cameras. They are SMALL and fast enough to handle any and all photographic situations. For instance, cropping portraits, or landscape and street photography. All capabilities for image composition and visual imagery can be CREATIVELY realizedwith the MANUAL lenses.  The black IBERIT 35mm f/2.4 for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras from HandeVision is a wide angle lens. With a simple six elements, six groups optical design to provide a classic image quality that is also well-suited to use on current image sensors. The all-metal construction of the lens housing utilizes anodized aluminum, brass, and stainless steel for rigidity and strength, and the barrel also features depth of field and focusing distance scales for more accurate focusing control.  The puristic IBERIT lenses with a constant speed of 2.4 and focal lengths of 24,35, 50, 75 and 90 mm come in black and in silver and are initially available for Sony-E, Fuji X and Leica M / SL mount systems. During development, particular attention was placed on achieving a LIGHT weight and compact size in order to live up to the guiding principle of MIRRORLESS cameras. IBERIT lenses can be used on cameras with full frame sensors as well as cameras with APS-C sensors.  The design calculated with dema nd for highest image quality for digital sensors is based on CLASSIC constructions. Without autofocus and electronic aperture control also for the version with Sony NEX and FUJI X mount systems. As a result, the photographer is in complete control when selecting the focus point and thus the ORIGINAL photography experience is preserved compared to autofocus lenses.  The IBERIT lenses are distinguished by TIMELESS design and high-quality workmanship. The lenses are based on German Engineering. Prototypes were developed, assembled and tested in Germany. Series production in Shanghai in accordance with German QUALITY criteria.  A PASSIONATE EXPERIENCE

Have to disagree on the quality.

Mine won't mount to my M6 at all.  Totally stuck in insertion position. No apparent damage at all, so it appears to have left the factory badly machined.

You may get a sample that works, but it'll be a matter of accident, not quality.

Won't even mount

I use it on my Leitz for film (negatives and slides) and also on my Sony A7R with a Kipon adapter. In bot cases the results are outstanding. It seems the lens is a little low in contrast, but not on sharpness. No smeary corners, and no magenta edges with the digital card.
If you are a Leica snob, I recommend you to give it a try, you will be surprised
