The japanese company Yasuhara announced a new amcro lens for NEX named “Nanoha”. It has a 5x magnification and can take spectacular photos (Click here to see their online gallery). The Nonoha’s website says about the lens: “The magnification is much more than ordinary macro lens. The magnification is up to x5. It means 1 pixel on the picture is about 1 micrometer on the shooting target. With NANOHA, you can find small wonders easily without using microscopes. And we added some patented features for your good shooting.”
Yasuhara is a one man company that made Cameras and Lenses compatible with the Leica M-system ([shoplink 7085 ebay]CLick here to see some of their stuff on eBay[/shoplink]). They know will release that lens for mirrorles systems + two more lenses during the year 2011.

I wonder, it this Nanoha…lyrical, per chance?
I doubt it’ll outperform the Minolta 3x-1x anyway.
If it is lyrical, Minolta will be befriended.
and the lens come with 3 Bright LED, that look awesome 🙂

Umm does lasers come out of it?!
………it can only shoot at 4x or 5x only and with 11mm or 19mm distance between the aiming object…
So, if i’m i looking at the drawings right, this is more or less a reversed lens? That explain why it can only focus for a very short distance.
