Double Glass - 24mm F11, M39 mount lens with custom engraved caps
The 'Double Glass' lens is the first truly affordable, aluminium-bodied, double coated glass optic to come out of the Chroma workshop. Comes with custom laser engraved aluminium front cap and moulded rear cap.
The lens is professionally assembled in the USA, using high quality machined aluminium bodies, with laser engraved unique serial numbers and design. The glass elements have been designed by the optical genius of Jason Lane from Pictoriographica, ensuring zero distortion/CA and sharp, focus-free, photography from 1m to infinity in a tiny lens, which is compatible with any M39/Leica thread mount body as well as all digital mirrorless systems through the use of a suitable adaptor (not included).

Stephen Dowling from Kosmo Foto has also had a beta lens on long-term test, and wrote his own preview article about it here
