I just bought one. Has anyone tried it. I wanted the 12.5mm f1.3, but I thought this was a good deal.

I received the lens today, and too me it looks like it's a NOS lens. MFD is 0.4 meters, and the appeture stops down to a hex shape.
It will screw in partially to one of my c-mount adapters.
Without machining you get macro only. I will try to test in macro tomorrow.
Coverage of m4/3 sensor seems decent, if my estimate is correct it will give 27-28mm F/F equivalent. I need to find someone who can machine the mount for me.
I think this will make a nice wide angle lens for my G1.
I hate to post this pic, but there is no way to test it.I stopped the lens all the way down to f16 and took this shot in 16:9 mode.
So this will give you an idea of coverage. I shot this at 20 feet away fron the front porch. Of course there is no way to get it in focus without machining the mount, except in macro.

Hello Walter G. I can machine that mount for you and adjust the lens so it works properly on m4/3. I'm not able to reduce the vignetting
on this model of lens, however. You can contact me through my website: www.ekoecamera.com
