I just came across this lens on aliexpress and quick googling didn't reveal anything about it. I wonder if it's just some kind redesign of some c-mount lens or this a completely new design? The barrel design actually looks like it was copied from a takumar.

Has anyone heard of, seen or tried this lens? The seller seems to have it available for Nex, m3/4 and fuji-x mounts.

Yes. I think it is a re-housed C mount lens http://www.aliexpress.com/item/C-Mount-Adapter-35mm-33mm-F1-6-CCTV-TV-Lens-for-Olympus-EP5-EPL6-EPM2-EM5/1702257243.html . Samples http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=254&t=3346550&p=1 . Pretty good sharpness but poor flare resistant.

That's what I thought although the physical dimensions seem to be somewhat different, at least the c-mount lens lens seems to be quite a bit longer?

Good question. I found the lens brand is KAXINDA Click here to see on Ebay . Should be a new lens.

Ok, I see you Google skills are much greater than mine Smile . From those samples it doesn't seem all that bad. Can you translate what they are saying about it? Google translatation doesn't make much sense to me.

I came across also this: http://cart100.com/Product/41620889125/. The image is poor but this has the same barrel design but the lens seems different and looks more like a (longer) cctv lens.

There is not much useful content to translate. The photos second link are re-size only except the two snoopy portraits.

Your new link showing the same lens. The price look a bit high to me as they are less costly here($6x).

You're right, the stretched image confused me.
