Homage to the Past
The Eureka series, inspired by the ancient Greek scholar Archimedes, celebrates a sudden discovery or enlightenment. Unlike the Simera series, which means "today" in Greek, Eureka is a new collection designed specifically for exploring vintage imagery styles.
The Eureka series stands out as a vintage camera lens in today's standardized optics world. Drawing inspiration from classic designs across different eras, it transforms your photography into timeless artistic expression.

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.
Compact in structure, the Eureka 50mm measures only 2.7cm when collapsed and extends to 4.12cm during use, making it a portable companion designed for wandering artists.
Its vintage-inspired retractable aluminum alloy construction combines lightweight durability with rugged reliability, performing flawlessly in temperatures from -30°C to +70°C - perfect for capturing moments in the most extreme environments.
Eureka 50mm blends contemporary coating technologies with the allure of retro optical structures, creating a harmonious symphony of vintage charm and remarkable precision.
Through carefully engineered multi-layer coatings, this vintage photo lens recreates the enchanting flares and organic look of classic optics while delivering exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness, vivid colors, and rich tonal gradations.
