The lens also comes with a small metal hood which can even be mounted reversed. The aperture ring is clickless and turns roughly 100° from f/1.4 to f/16. The resistance of the focus ring is nice but a bit on the soft side, same is true for the aperture ring as well. The focus ring travels ~120° from infinity to the minimum focus distance of 0.6 m. To change the aperture value it is a good idea to hold the focus barrel by its small focus lever as otherwise both barrels will move simultaneously yet eradically. Here it is different: the front barrel is the aperture ring and behind it is another moving barrel which is the focus ring. So when changing the aperture setting you will also change the focus position.
Now most MS-Optics lenses feature a unit focus design where the whole front barrel rotates and the aperture ring is located on that front barrel. Handling / Build Quality MS-Optics 35mm 1.4 ApoqualiaĪs usual with MS-Optics lenses there are a few things to point out here and even though I am used to using these lenses there were still surprises. New it was around $1000, but it has become a bit of a collector’s item, so prices vary a lot These days you can only find this lens used on (affiliate link).
Maximum Magnification: 1:14.4 (measured).Close Focusing Distance: 0.6 m (measured).Number of Aperture Blades: 12 (rounded).Filter Diameter: 37mm (reverse) + 46mm (in lens hood).The latest is the MS-Optics 35mm 1.3 II Apoqualia Slim but I am reviewing the predecessor MS-Optics 35mm 1.4 Apoqualia here which has the following specifications: Miyazaki made two fast 35mm lenses so far. portrait distance (1.0 m, 24mp Leica M10).
