Bringing Classic Lens Character to Modern Photography: Peace Optics 'PEACE 35mm f/1.4 E41 CLASSICAL Silver Chrome' Launch

Shoten Kobo Co., Ltd. announced the release of the Peace Optics 'PEACE 35mm f/1.4 E41 CLASSICAL Silver Chrome' (Leica M-mount), starting June 12, 2026. This lens combines a classic style that pays homage to the original 35mm f/1.4 'Steel Rim' with modern usability.

This large-aperture 35mm lens is reconstructed using a brass barrel and modern manufacturing techniques, based on careful research into the designs and rendering characteristics of classic masterpieces. It is not merely a nostalgic reproduction, but a practical lens designed for everyday use.

[Dreamy Wide Open, Sharp When Stopped Down]
At F1.4, the lens offers classic, atmospheric rendering characterized by soft light diffusion, gentle contrast, and noticeable vignetting. Stopped down, the rendering tightens, transitioning into crisp and precise imagery.

[Classic Aesthetics]
The design evokes the original 35mm f/1.4 Steel Rim, featuring a stainless steel front ring and a focus tab with infinity lock. The brass barrel provides a solid, premium feel.

[Versatile for Daily Use and Travel]
The 35mm focal length is suitable for various scenes, from daily snapshots to portraits. The F1.4 aperture is ideal for low-light indoor shooting and dusk.
