They do seem to have a knack for finding lenses that others don't do.
I'd also love to have a play with their 24mm probe lens, their 15mm shift macro and some of their wide zero distortion lenses...
From what I've seen they offer more lenses to interest me than any other manufacturer & the reviews all look fairly promising too.
I'd better get saving! |

Another interesting lens for sure. I have the 100mm f/2 STF lens and I'm curious of this new 10-18mm tiny zoom they launched also

Working distance is about 45mm, which is quite long at such a magnification. The insect was at about waist height and I knelt down.
Of course, there is the x2 m4/3 factor. The FOV is 7mm wide.
