UPDATE: This is the translation of Akiomis review conclusions (Thanks Frank and Lee for that):
good points
– Resolution bordering on the insane
– No major loss of luminosity on the borders at full open.
– No gap in the rendering from close up to far away objects.
– Contrast which is so good it seems to be able to photography the airPoints of concern
– The 2.8 is the highest in the Batis catalogue, a source of worry. But in real use no worries at all ( smile )
– Release date ?
– Bokeh shape is not to everyone taste.
