Re: Thypoch 28, Sony or Leica version to get focus confirm?
'The Thypoch lenses are not optimized for non-m mounts. IOW, Thypoch built only m versions, slapped e and z mounts in addition to m, didnt optimize for e/z sensors, nor did they put electronics in for exif and confirmation and called it a day'.
Being interested in the minutiae of lens design, I've always been curious about this 'optimization process'. Please indicate to us exactly what 'optimized' means in this context.
For example, what does the main competitor Cosina do to 'optimize' their E/Z//RF mount lenses. If the literature you have is too large for a simple post, please contact me with it, via PM.
I have not found any evidence of the so-called optimization at any time, and we know that some M lenses of their work better on E than on M - now that is some unreal optimization, but in the wrong direction! It may be nothing more than marketing propaganda. However, a person with such confidence as you display here in your strident post, will definitely be 'in the know'.
Readers - those with an open mind on the issue - should also know that Zeiss, Cooke and Leitz (Leica's real name) offer 'universal' mirrorless lenses that permit users to simply use a different mount to deploy their very expensive lenses, the exact same lenses, on the other mounts. Optimization = nil. They make just a few more lenses than Cosina does, being the biggest names in cinema.
