Interesting in what way? I'm not sure many here approve of KR as any credible guru.

Ken is not my Guru for sure. This lens seems to be an "ordinary" CCTV lens sold at an extraordinary price and Ken is just making fun of this. He obviously has a sense of humour. Very Happy

Cost is same or more what you can buy a MINT condition Angenieux 25mm f0.95 C mount lens....

I don't get it, 700 quid for a CCTV lens they added a camera mount to?

Surely it's value is no more than the cost of a CCTV lens and a C mount to NEX adapter?

That would cost, ooh, I dunno, 70 quid max.

Someone here is making a huge profit...

Hard to tell from small samples but it doesn't look very sharp. Have you tried it stopped down to see if sharpness increases?

Nice.
DOF is practical zero at close distance. It can be very sharp but we just cannot see it clearly Wink

This is the PDF from Goyo's site for this lens:



Maybe this lens can be obtained from Goyo or one of their resellers for a mere fraction of what SLR Magic are charging?

Perhaps a group buy direct from Goyo?

Sharp? Guys, at f/0.95 (!) you won't expect a sharp lens!
This lens is all about low-light and shallow DoF. Forget sharpness discussions.

Congratulations to your new toy!

Thanks for the photo.

Your shots look very nice. The lens looks sharp enough to me wide open, as seen in the shot with the hand holding the cigarette - the detail on the index finger seems well captured (could you also post a 100% crop of the in-focus area of the finger?). Bokeh is very nice in the other shots, but I have a feeling you have a lot of experience in producing such images Smile

laenee's shot is also beautiful. Very sharp and great background.

After reading through KR's article, I looked up a bit more information on these lenses. Looks like he's wrong about these being just CCTV lenses modified for MFT/E mount - but then again, being wrong is not unusual for him. Photozone has actually reviewed a 12/1.6 lens:

http://www.photozone.de/olympus--four-thirds-lens-tests/685-slrmagic_12_16

The only aspect I find confusing is that the Noktor site doesn't mention this 12/1.6, only the 50/0.95.

Some more info on SLR Magic:

http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/tag/slr-magic/

He seems to prefer the 12mm to the 50mm, although from the shots I see here, I can't figure out why.

BTW, is "hyperprime" supposed to mean something besides sounding cool?

Some lenses able to produce sharp images at F0.95 my Angenieux 50mm f0.95 sharp at wide open, I sold Angenieux 25mm f0.95
it was sharp enough at wide open too, like a Helios-44 wide open.
