Its like shooting with iPhone 3G ^-^
Wahaha, “can outresolve 60 Megapixel sensors”. Based on the samples I would say that it can not resolve anything but okay, whatever…
ill buy it for 24.99$ =)
…but they ask €1,699.
16.99$? I’ll take it lol damn they must have smoked a good one before pricing it. Hahaha
Creative…
The Lensbaby Velvet 56 seems a better deal, and that is nearly US$500. You’ll just have to go closer.
The test shots all have carefully chosen backgrounds, but two of them show evidence of bright ring bokeh, which is the worst kind of bokeh for a portrait lens.
Ummm… those samples look worse than CCTV lenses. Could easily out do this 3-lens element lens with some cheap, under $100 legacy glass adapted to whatever camera. How is it possible a company like this is even in business? Must be a front group for the Mob or something.
what- what- what are they doing?! market economy may allow for incompetent politicians and bankers but this company should have no legitimacy to operate. or exist.
What the shit I just see? Hipster’s shit like New Petzval get even better quality, then this shit.
1699 EUROS FOR THIS SUBPAR TRIPLET ???? this is the pinnacle of absurdity……
as pt barnum said; “there’s a sucker born every minute”
this image quality is horrendous
the price ridiculous ,
the development of this ? ..incredulous
is short this lens is entirely ludicrous
The 15 blade aperture produces a nice round image where the background is to hot. The 15 blade aperture is what makes the rest of the Bokeh so good. This is a portrait lens and needs to be judged as a portrait lens. Bokeh can look too busy, with some lens, 50 mm, f1,0 Noctilux would be an example of too busy.
75 mm f1.4 Summilux produces a beautiful Bokeh, but with an 15 blade aperture I bet it would be better, usually the more the aperture is shaped as a round circle the better the Bokeh.
Not that much can truly be observed in the three example images, I wonder if they were really taken with the lens they are suppose to represent.
