The video on top and the video you can find here on vimeo are the first shot with the [shoplink 7358 ebay]SLRMagic 28mm f/2.8 pancake[/shoplink]. It doesn’t look bad at all or not? By the way, I have been told by the guys from SLRmagic that this lens is not the Mitakon 28mm f/2.8. It’s an improved verison of it.
You can get that lens on [shoplink 7358 ebay]eBay only (Click here)[/shoplink].

Quite nice… a bit soft, but without chromatic aberations, which is important when shooting with full hole. My great and sharp Zuiko 28/2.8 has some, which doesn’t make me happy. The Nokton 28/1.9 far less. And the Rokkor 28/2.0 also has some, but I don’t mind, as it has great bokeh.
“It’s an improved verison of it.”
Maybe it is good for SLRmagic to explain a little more about the improvement? New coating? New glass elements? Whatever it is to justify the additional US$120 of the original US$78 Mitakon version. Just don’t tell us it is the added hood. ;-p
not too sharp a lens which is nice for video..gives that natural feeling u get when using film..but not quite suitable if ur finding or going one that is HD quality..
any news if A77 will be compatable with “SDXC UHS-II” so it can use next gen 300MBs cards (upto 2TB) and fully utilise usb3?
Well, at least this lens is another pancake option, so they could have flooded the market after focus peaking yesterday if it was only a little cheaper. The picture quality does not really convince against old manual lenses that are available cheaper with an adapter, nevertheless it’s surprisingly good compared to what I’ve seen from their 35mm f/1.7 MC lens. But am I the only one longing for super wide angle at 10 or 12mm?
It must have a very good quality hood lol 😛
“Improved version”
that hood better be gold plated.
