Saw this post and some sample pics on the DPR forums. Anyone have any idea if its any good? Seems cheap and good for an f0.95 lens!!

It does looks good. Can check out the flickr group here https://www.flickr.com/groups/2879926@N25/pool/with/30451742504/
Although I'm a little skeptical of their 0.95 rating base on the size alone (nothing scientific). I have nokton 25/0.95 which is a lot bigger and heavier
This shot https://www.flickr.com/photos/15999902@N08/30451742504/in/pool-2879926@N25/ looks wide open, the girl's eyes looks pretty sharp, perhaps sharper than my nokton.
which nocton? version 1 or 2?
Mine is okay, although it seems to have a problem focusing to infinity. Maybe that is a new user error.
Lens Flare is wild.
It is tiny but heavy. It looks as though it would work well with the Panasonic GM1 and GM5 but it seems twice as heavy as the body. I've found it useful on the GX8 since I can tilt the viewfinder and check the aperture quickly.View attachment 12884
wah, cuts like a knife man. :what: I don't think my nokton was this bad.

possible to purchase this lens in singapore?
The whole thing is amusing. It's a tiny Leica M-like lens, fitting with a micro Four-Thirds mount, and way too heavy for the GM5. It's also incredibly inexpensive for the maximum aperture it offers.
I expected distortion but it is fairly good. Optically, it seems sharp but there are extra things that appear, day or night. Maybe the interior of the barrel doesn't a consistent non-reflective surface.
ah, interesting about the interior, but dun complain when you get more and pay less hahaha
will you recommend getting this lens if i have a 17mm f1.8 as they are both equivalent to 35mm in view
hmm true, i am considering either this or a 25mm f1.8..not too sure which will be a better choice.
