It seems some of the employees of this company had relation with Kyocera and Tomioka. All these lenses are made in Contax/Yashica mount. The 55/1.2 is a resurrection of Tomioka while the other two seems closely related to the Contax/Yashica counterpart.
55mm, ¥99,380
35mm, ¥144,980
85mm, ¥133,400
All price include 8% sales tax. If ship aboard, it will be tax free. ¥10,000 is roughly equals to $90.
They are not making very sharp lenses, as you would expect from their old counterpart. The original Tomioka 55/1.2 is OK at WO(I have one) so does this 55/1.2. _________________ https://lensfever.com/

Yes. However, I don't think they are going to make a profit from these lenses similar to the lenses made by MS-Optics. _________________ https://lensfever.com/
