I guess mine is the SP1. Have no idea what could be different between various SP versions.

If it is the Light Lens Lab lens, yours is the SP2. It stands for Speed Panchro 2. LLL just builds them in batches.

Yes of course. Sorry.

So what is an SP3 as shown above. A different lens entirely?

That is a lens made by Cooke, not Light Lens Lab

@highdesertmesa
Thanks. I had no idea this was to be available. I just might get the 75mm since it just might suit my needs better than getting the Leica 75 1.4.

These Cooke SP3 lenses were just released last month. They offer a 75mm but I think LLL is developing a 75mm Speed Panchro as well: https://lightlenslab.myshopify.com/blogs/upcoming-project/light-lens-lab-75mm-f-2-speed-panchro-ii-update-i

I would prefer an f2.0 like my 50 SP2, but that LLL video is confusing as it might look like they have a rear filter that can be fitted? Not sure what I am looking at there.

Will see when the M adapter becomes available for the SP3 lenses in 2024. It's the T2.4 that is different, but then again it's only a half a stop. Having an original Cooke lens might be desirable.

Any suggestions on how to adapt the SP3 lens with E mount to an M and/or to an SL without having to wait for the Cooke adapter sometime in 2024?

Checked verbally with BH today and they are clueless about these new lenses. Very disappointing to waste my time thinking they had answers about M or L mounted SP3 lenses. They don't even know about the RF ones either. They just kept saying they are Sony E mount compatible. That I can see on their website.

Will now look for way to contact Cooke directly.

Just had a terrific call with Cooke. They are currently mounting and shimming RF mounts to the SP3 lenses. Within 1-2 months they will do the same with L mounts. Then in early 2024 they will start M mounts with their needed shims.

Might be exciting to own a real Cooke lens.

Whoa! Cool. And a lot cheaper I assume than buying an M10d

Do you know how heavy the lens is? The Leica reissue weighs 400 grams and is constructed from aluminum.

I found the answer to this. Almost as heavy as my 50/1 Noct.

My Nikon Z6 lend its Panchro to my M9. You can do it M9, you still got it.
