In addition, the Eureka 50mm f/2 revives the classic Taylor Hobson 50mm f2 Anastigmat. It offers a shorter minimum focusing distance of 0.9m, compared to the typical 1m. The Thypoch Eureka 50mm uses an advanced double-gauss lens design, comprising 6 elements in 4 groups, ensuring sharpness from the center to the edges and precise detail, while effectively reducing chromatic and spherical aberrations.
