Back to the
Original Aspiration
of the Full-frame

The liberation of photography began with an inspiration to fit a camera loaded with 35mm film into one's pocket.

In 1925, the first commercial 35mm camera was introduced, paired with the first collapsible 50mm lens, instantly ending the century-long burden of cumbersome plate cameras. Countless individuals pocketed this exquisitely compact combination and took it into the streets, warzones, and corners of the world to capture unique impressions of their epoch.

The Eureka 50mm honors the spirit of 35mm photography with its iconic collapsible design inspired by 1950s vintage camera lenses. This compact lens blends analog charm with contemporary optical performance, perfect for street photography and everyday carry.
