Sonnetar 25mm f/1.1 Prototype spotted

[Chris Dodkin]

World renown lens genius, Mr. Miyazaki, has built the first prototype of the Sonnetar 25mm f/1.1 for Micro Four Thirds cameras.

This chap has long history of handmade and high quality M-mount lenses, so this could be a very nice option for Micro Four Thirds users. He's previously done super lenses for Leica mount apparently.

The prototype is in the field being tested - Google dodgy translation here: Google Translate

Price is to be confirmed - current model Sonnetar 25mm f/1.1 for Pentax Q mount is $650 on eBay.
