A lot of reviewers bashed the #Ibelux Handevision 40mm F0.85 Mark II lens made by #Kipon before I was able to secure my copy. They probably were amateur photographers who didn’t know how to utilize such a special tool? I absolutely LOVED this lens as a photographer who actually knows what an aperture is! ;) Unfortunately, my copy of the lens was stolen in a brazen auto burglary before the pandemic only to show up on @eBay just days ago! An update: @TempePolice here in Arizona, are onto the lead! They called me and got all the nitty gritty details. That was seriously encouraging! This photo was taken with the “Pink Lady” shot wide open at F0.85, which is actually more of a red lens but I like to call it the Pink Lady because it was an endearing term for Ms. Ibelux! . #Arizonaland #marsarizona #dyingsaguaro #queencreek #eastvalley #santanmountains @kipon_sh (at Queen Creek, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPDYKnBlsmb/?utm_medium=tumblr

This was photo was captured with the lens in my previous post. Shot with the #Ibelux made by #Kipon wide open at F0.85 just after sundown and dusk. This lens is made by @kipon_sh and it’s rumored they are designing a third iteration of it! This #Saguarocactus in the image is dying of dehydration and fungus attacks due to lack of hardly any monsoonal moisture for two straight summers now. It’s being blamed on Global Warming...

I never held beauty quite like this #PinkLady that was made by #Kipon. It was perhaps the fastest and highest quality FAST specialty lens that I’ve shot to date. I’ll post an image I took with it tomorrow! Unfortunately, this beauty was stolen. Go follow @kipon_sh for more interesting optics! https://www.instagram.com/p/CFLHjXhhf9H/?igshid=1al3zqxh1g173

The IG filters in the last two posts changed the red color - here is a picture of the red Iberit lens without a filter #leica #kipon #iberit #lens #leicam #cameraporn #leicamp #leicacamera #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/BwvhP3yF0Mn/?igshid=t6u1un57dorj

Captured at first light today with a #FujiFilmXH1 (@fujifilmx_us) and the #Kipon #Ibelux #40MM F0.85 lens shot at F1.4 which proves the lens made by @kipon_sh sharpens up quite nicely (good enough) across the frame when slightly stopped down. F1.4 is still plenty fast. Also tried #FujiFilm’s velvia mode. I’m liking the camera; only downside is I noticed a little bit of what looks like oily residue inside the camera box but not on the sensor.
