The Chinese company “ShenyangZhongyi” is developing a new 35mm/f/0.95 lens for Micro Four Thirds! The picture on top shows the lens design (rendering). But some first early image samples have been posted on Xitek (Click here). Click the thumbnails below to enlarge the size of the picture.
This would become the fourth m43 lens with f/0.95 aperture. The other three are the:

Does it cover an aps c sensor ?
yes!
good find @admin images looking great too…
That is good!:) Should put it in the Sony section? 🙂
I will buy it for my NEX’. 🙂
That’s why it has a rather unusual focal length. 35mm will be roughly 50 on aps-c. They even said this lens will be available for X-pro 1, NEX in the forum
So this lens will be in an e mount? Do they discuss price and due date? But no micro four thirds mount mentioned?
Does it autofocus?
Don’t think so.
boohoo!
Not really sure about relations between this company and SLR-magic, but through the discusion in that forum it seems to me that shenyan zongyi “formal partner with Mitakon” has produced some lenses labled with SLR magic. Same company or just OEM?
this company produced E 28f2.8
If panny would include peaking in gh2, it would be nice bokehmaster alternative to oly 45mm f1.8
Too bad the bokeh from this lens doesn’t look very good judging by these pics – hollow circles with striking bright outer rings (“condoms”)… Though the overall IQ looks pretty amazing.
Interesting!:-)
Hopefuly it will not be a toy.
Nice contrasty images! Hopefully the quality will be top-notch and the price chinese!
They should do this in M-mount.
!!!!! E-M5 REVIEW AT DPREVIEW !!!!!!!
80% Gold award! Best m4/3, but still a percent behind NEX-7. Do proper grip, flash and focus peaking beat five stop IBIS by percent?
I have to agree with this quote from the DPreview conclusion:
” If you’re absolutely unwilling to compromise on image quality then spending twice the money and moving up to the bulk of a full-frame is the only way of gaining a significant step up from the E-M5.”
I guess they agonised how to word this. Basically saying there is no point in the size/cost/lens choice compromises you get if you buy into the NEX or X-Pro1!
Well, Sony strategy makes one wonder what they are trying to accomplish with a system that has more bodies than lenses. In the short term, they may gain market share by going after P&S upgraders, but once those people wish for something more from their NEX cameras, they’ll have to look some other way.
X-Pro1 size defies the prime reason for going mirrorless. In that price/size range there are much better choices out there.
It looks kind of similar to the Olympus high-quality, non weather-sealed line (12/2, 45/1.8, 75/1.8) — as opposed to the weather-sealed line (12-50… ok — maybe not top quality, and the 60/2.8, and hopefully a 3-400 fast birdie lens).
If ShenyangZhongyi is able to make lenses on par with SLR Magic, than this is excellent news.
of course, SLR Magic is a trader, they put label on 1 – 2 lens that made by shenyangzhongyi.
What about price? $399 or less?
Should be in the $85 range
Excellent bokeh and contrast characteristics.
This one is a real show stopper!
Looking good.
I’ll wait for bigger samples.
Micro 4/3 is the land of fast glass and fast cameras. Love it!!
The bokeh looks smudged and hazy and images have a yellow tint to it.
If it’s a metal body and the images look as good as the samples imply… My god… I’ll preorder the moment it’s available as long as it’s under $1000.
This thing needs to exist in m4/3 mount, AND autofocus… If it does I’d be willing to plunk a good amount of money on it, but if it’s just another manual lens, Meh…..
Tremendous things here. I’m very happy to peer your article. Thank you a lot and I am looking ahead to touch you. Will you please drop me a mail?
