They are based in Chiba, Japan and seem cheaper than Bellamy Hunter or Japan Exposures, but only accept a wire transfer for payment. Wondering what others' experience has been.
MK DIrect...anyone use them for MS Optics lenses?

It appears to be the usual Japanese language only operation. Are you sure they are up to accepting foreign orders?

Miyazki seems to have set himself up for "direct" sales. I scrolled down and saw some translated stuff such as . "Refund provided if defective and within 1 week of Purchase" and "remember WE are making these lenses by hand etc" . Maybe this is just how the Japanese translation goes.
Perhaps YokohamaMike could look into it for. Of course I am interested in the Aporia2/24.

Also, it seems the dollar is quite strong to the Yen. Maybe a good time buy ?

Hmmm interesting. First to hear of this website. I've visited Miyazaki-san at his house/workshop before (pictured in that second photo where he's holding a Leica M3), and the address given on the website isn't his, although its only about 2km away, so close. "We" isn't directly stated in the Japanese, and the short description of Miyazaki-san is in the 3rd person... so the jury is still out for me as to whether this is Miyazaki-san himself. I suspect its just a reseller. But hey, if the prices are good, more power to them.

Were it not for a wire transfer as the only means of payment, I'd go for it. That's why I was eager to hear if others ever bought from them.

Maybe you can try a Japan proxy since it's from Japan?
