It looks like a Kowa TV lens. A lot of makers make a range of 1-inch megapixel class TV lenses now and they cost a lot less than 500USD so SLR Magic are really taking the mickey I think, seems like they are charging 300USD or so to put a MFT mount in place of the C mount, or maybe they are even ordering the lenses from Kowa with an MFT mount fitted.

It doesn't look very good wide open to me, that CA is off-putting, then again, who shoots an ultrawide lens at full aperture?
