And if you adapted this to micro 43rds you’d still get people posting it’s
not an f1 lens!
LOL! That was a good one 🙂
It is a germanium lens, meant for thermal imaging. It would not be possible to take RGB photographs with this lens since it is opaque in the visible spectrum.
Some thermal imaging _sensors_ are germanium based. Lenses optimized for thermal imaging are transparent in the visible spectrum and usable for RGB imaging but would probably suffer from excessive chromatic abberation and back focusing.

only 40 k then…a bargain…
Is that a C-mount in the back?!?!?!?! It’s insane to think of all that light being condensed down onto that tiny rear element…
