Why don't they send these new items to you for review? Here their new items are very interesting to many, you will not find the best advertisement?
I contacted https://www.zenit.photo/, they would be glad, but they have some difficulties with the delivery of lenses to Kiev. Then think for yourself :)
As far as I understand, they don't want to give lenses even without sending them in Moscow, right?
I wrote them a letter later that there is Rodion, who churns out excellent reviews (like the same new 50 1.2), send him - but in response, silence. Although I was told that they see my letters. But this is the case, anyway, sooner or later, these lenses will get on the pages of Radozhiva
Soviet-Russian marketing, senseless and merciless. As well as the product itself.
To "senseless and merciless" I would add "fabulous".
They have their own ambassador, a famous photographer - Dimon ...)
They like Alexandra Bochkareva ambassador, especially for 50 0.95
Dimon respects foreign photographic equipment more. Leica, etc.
With Zenitar 0,95 I was photographed only when visiting KMZ.
Estessno, imported.
Is there any other?
THE SECRET TO SUCCESS IS TO MAKE A DRINKED 77M-4 WITH ALL BAYONETS, AND ALL THE HAMSTER WILL EAT AND EVEN FUN ...
And apparently they didn't invent anything, they took the Yu-3 and put it on the Sony-E. After all Yu-3 many praise, unique pleasant lens
I will support you about the 77M-4. With normal enlightenment and blackening, it will at least be in demand.
How is it better than 44-2?
The press release promises to produce the first batch of 10 pieces by the New Year.
Cool!
But the main intrigue is the price, which has not yet been officially announced.
Demand will depend on it.
But judging by the announcement of the circulation in December 2020, the price will be very steep.
The novelty will differ from the old Soviet Jupiter-3 with MS-enlightenment and more comfortable MDF.
ironic that on the same day it was announced TTArtisan DJ-OPTICAL 50 / 1.2 for mirrorless cameras, you can already buy and only $ 98.
Viltroks, yangs and artisans in my opinion make their work useless in my opinion. It's too late to cling to something
maybe they will have their own narrow niche
Let them first master the mass production.
And let them finally find out that in addition to Sony E, there is also a Fujifilm X-mount, for example
It is only for cropped and micro 4/3 cameras. A Planned Zenitar is suitable for a full frame
Well, still, a defense enterprise sends equipment of State importance to Ukraine)))
Let them send by mail to Russia. BGG.
"Owners of Nikon and Canon photographic equipment are waiting for the release of the artistic lens" Selena 1,9 / 58 "
These necrophiles are also planning to re-release "Helios-44" ...
It is a Petzval 58mm / 1,9, not Helios
Glad I was wrong.
And then there were very mixed feelings.
Although, I look at his photo and gnaw at me strong doubts that this is “Petzval”, and not “Helios”. :)
and this is already a fact, it was discussed in the comments somewhere here
Judging by the prices that come out under the control of the MOP, it is strange to hope for something democratic and popular. Get at least a camera for 460tyrov. Without autofocus and much more without ... Yes, for that kind of money, it should have a built-in Lightroom and two buttons: one SHUTTER, the second MASTERPIECE with a set of Lightroom presets for processing famous world photographers.
Are there few buyers in Russia for such crafts?
Yes, obviously not a lot.
It can not be.
If you are sure that it cannot, why are you asking?)

The American Amazon - even during the days of the pandemic - has no difficulty. And they, you see, have. It is not for us to think - it is THEM to think :)
And why should they think - there the main turnover goes to the military, where not only are the budgets completely different, and the “clients” have no special choice :)
As for the civil everyday life - they release it insofar as, "anyhow shob bulo", it is a no brainer that they will not stand any competition with the Chinese.
The start of sales of this miracle began ...
Few people know that the very popular program for digital image processing Adobe Lightroom (Adobe Photoshop) has a ready-made profile for this lens (Jupiter-3 manufactured by KMZ).

Only labeled Lomography New Jupiter 50mm / 1,5
I advise you to try it - what if the picture will noticeably improve ...
