What a load of arse. The seller clearly doesn't understand lenses very well.

The 'nifty fifty' would still beat that lens if you put scotch tape all over the front element.
:confused:

my favorite part:

With a super fast f 1.1 aperture, it is 3 times faster than human eye!!! Great for hand-held floral pictures.

This lens can only be used in close-up photography (1/2 life size) without focus ring. In other words, you can't use this lens for anything else except for close-up. However, for close-up/macro works you will want to step down as much as possible to get more dof. Thus, you would not be able to use at 1.1 in most situations.........a piece of junk IMHO.

Now a 100mm F0.9. How so? It's light vacuum, baby! It double your folcal length and twice the light gathering ability. The bokeh on this combo will blow you away.

It's an interesting lens but as Leorooster says ,totally useless because of the depth of field issue.

Does anyone know why he's saying it's three times faster than the human eye?
Is this a know fact about the eye or simply a bad missinterpretation of a 50/1.8 lens being the same as the human eye?

I think some of you guys are a little uneducated on this subject... there is a small cult following for this type of conversion lens.. take a look at his recent auctions and feedback.. his customers love him and love his products.

I agree his sales tactics look a little odd,. but many people are actively seeking these lenses out and do know what they are buying.

A gent Named Blair Bunting used to collect and convert this type of lens... he posted here ages ago.. and more recently at FM where he sold many of these conversions.

It was all about super fast extremely narrow DOF and artsy fartsy experimental still lifes.

Not my cup of tea.. but interesting none the less.

Cinstance is an FMer as well...
