Leica’s Newest Lens Incorporates One of the Best Focal Lengths into an Iconic Form Factor

The Noctilux M 35mm F1.2 Asph. is the latest lens to join Leica’s fast primes. However, it’s the first to feature a 35mm focal length (most Noctilux lenses since the 1960s have been 50mm). Like the others, it features a manual focus design and was made using the brand’s in-house Precision Glass Molding process. Read the full writeup on DPReview.

A cable that splits off to charge multiple devices is nothing new. However, Native Union may have perfected the idea with the 2-in-1 Belt Cable. Not only can this cable charge two devices at the same time from a single outlet, but it can do so while optimizing charging for each of those devices. And not just that, but it can do it at speeds of up to 140W. It’s also reinforced with an ultra-strong aramid fiber core, has 100-percent recycled PET braiding and housings, and even comes with an adjustable sliding clip and cable management strap.

In celebration of founder Horacio Pagani’s 70th birthday, Pagani has rolled out a special-edition model based on the previously discontinued Huayra. It’s called the 70 Trionfo, and it brings a vibrant green livery to complement the striking aerodynamic bodywork of the Roadster BC and its twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12. Just three are said to have been built altogether, and each is curated according to the owner’s specs. As such, this particular example now makes 834 horsepower and comes with a fully manual seven-speed transmission.

Sumiko has been handcrafting high-end phono cartridges for decades, and with the Oriole, the Japanese-based hi-fi manufacturer claims that it is setting a new benchmark. Positioned between its Songbird and Starling models, the Oriole is a moving-coil cartridge featuring a nude Shibata stylus and a low-impedance generator rated at 5.5Ω (0.3 mV output). Sumiko says it’s ideal for turntables in the $1,000-$5,000 range.

Bentley just revealed its latest addition to the Continental GT family. It’s called the Continental GT S, and it takes inspiration from its hardcore performance variant and last year’s GP100 winner, the Continental GT Supersports. Pegged as a sportier version of the Continental GT, just not as serious, the S still features the original GT Speed’s plug-in gas-electric hybrid powertrain. But now, it’s rated to around 670 horsepower and 686 pound-feet of torque, which is a 120 hp and 118 lb-ft more than the previous S model. Other bespoke differences include a new Blackline Specification edition, unique headlight designs to separate it from other Continental GT variants and a new 22-inch ten-spoke wheel design. And like the previous version, it could be had with its head on or cut off.
