Looks great, have to look into these a bit more.

Out of curiosity has anyone actually used any of the lenses from this company?

Mitakon 35mm 0.95 and 50mm 0.95 are well received lenses and they are big lenses. Also Mitakon has the lens adapters. There are bunch of reviews online including posts here. We'll see how the new lenses will perform. I wish they were FF, then it would be very interesting...

 

[shotupdave]

any idea of the price point

 

[serhan]

From the original post: 42.5mm f/1.2 will be at US $359 and 24mm f/1.7 will be at US $289.

It's on sale in their online shop: http://www.zyoptics.net/purchase-online/

Wow, ZYoptics is pretty fast at putting out lenses recently. I think I'll keep my 24mm 1.8 Zeiss instead of this one, though. But these are interesting, cheaper options for sure.

My Mitakon 35mm T/0.95 should arrive next week (after a month of wait), and I'll of course let you know what I think of it and post tons of samples.
