Mitakon 35mm f 0.95 for Fuji X Mount

I saw this in an EBay auction. (Link omitted - just 'cause they don't need my help.) Has anyone seen one of these in the wild? Not that it means much, but it's a good looking lens.

It's really great how the mirrorless formats are taking off with lens makers. I am torn between Sony and Fuji - Sony having having hybrid AF and Fuji clearly has the lenses I want. I lean toward Fuji, but Sony is not making it easy with fast, stabilized primes coming out....

[Edit] It would appear that the lens is available for nex and soon m4/3 as well...

If u are a video type as well then the Sony maybe your choice... I dislike the UI on the Nex series, though the nex6/7 have at least made it more acceptable.

Fuji gets my nod for the back to basics UI as well as their lenses, current and future. it is my primary digital camera.

The only Sony that I normally use is the rx100 as my everyday just in case camera. If I am going someplace w/ intent to take pictures I grab the Fuji.

Yep, not really a video type, so still leaning towards the Fuji for the no-nonsense UI... But I'm a dedicated RAW shooter / Lightroom user so that sends me back towards the Sony (a little). And definitely keeping my DSLR as I do shoot sports.

If u need fast af then the Nex 6 w/ both contrast and phase detection maybe the one to go for as well.. Fuji lenses tend to be better than equiv Sony brand ones IMHO. They both support third party manual focus lens adaption w/ nod going to Sony for the focus peaking.

Good luck
