The Thypoch Eureka 50mm f2 is billed not as a replacement to the Leica 50mm f2 collapsible — but as an alternative and ode to it. And in many ways, I liken it to being as incredible as the time that Green Day covered the Misfits. Is it the same lens? No. Doesn’t it take inspiration from the past? Sure. But is it so much better for modern photographers? Absolutely. If the Thypoch Eureka 50mm f2 puts a smile on my face that would make the stars jealous of how brightly it shines.
