Lenses 35/21 Gears 46/20
Nice looking Leica knock-offs for price of Lomography M lenses. I wish they have 50 2.4 with focus tab, just like original 50 2.4.

They are huge. The only interesting lens might be the 24 - since the specs are kind of unique. The 35 and 50 Color Skopar and 75/2.5 are known entities, cheaper, smaller and great performers. And you can get a late 90 tele elmarit for less than these lenses. Anybody has details/samples on the 24 ?
Note there's also a 2.4/50 and 2.4/75 for M, and all four lenses too in Leica SL mount and Fuji-X mount!

These were announced in December 2015 and we have yet to see any of them come to market.

In theory, yes.
But: most «Germans» aren't aware of their very own history!
In fact, most people in «Germany» simply do not know that basically all ancient toponyms in the German speaking areas are either
— Celtic, or
— Latin, or
— Slavic.

Euhm... they are on the market. The link points to an eBay seller.
Never mind the interesting name, has anybody bought one and shot it?

Wish they didn't print the names on the barrel.

Yes, sure. I was saying «ancient». Amsterdam on the contrary was for the first time mentioned in a document ddo. 27th October 1275 — that's not really ancient 😉

I have their first lens, the 40mm f0.85, in Fuji X mount. I think it was only made for the APS-C sensor and only in three mounts. It was priced at $1999 which severely limited the number sold but got a lot of reviews. I bought mine from B&H at $499 and have had some fun trying to figure out what its best used for.
The weight on that lens is severe. The focus is smooth as is the aperture. The fit and finish was not very good. There were several areas on the focus ring that had not been anodized and were just bare metal.
As far as the new lenses are concerned, I'd need to see how they render before I'd buy one. There would need to be something 'unique' to the image. Otherwise, I'll keep buying $80 adapted lenses in the same ranges.

Wow, they better be more than amazing optically, 600+ for a manual lens for fuji X.

Won't be happening, they won't fit the Leica II and I have a set of manual lenses for the Sony A7 already.

Not for me. The Iberit 35 f 2.4 is $640, while the Voigtlander 35 2.5 Color Skopar is $409.
The Voigtlander is made in Japan, the Iberit is made in China. The only reason I point this out is the fact that it is cheaper to make it in China.
The Voigtlander 75mm 1.8 is $699, the Iberit 75mm 2.4 is $570. $130 more for a faster, proven lens.
I think that the new prices of these Iberit will plummet a year (or less) after their release, and these initial prices are just to see if there will be any bites.

Yes. The 40mm f0.95 started at $2000 and ended at $500. I'd expect these lenses to have 'instant rebates' bringing them down by several hundred dollars within a year or so.

Someone is selling one on fredmiranda, to which someone else posted sample photos that they had taken. I did not respond on that thread, as I did not want to interfere with his sale, but frankly I am not impressed.
The lens seems to handle flare extremely poorly, especially from the side where it seems the sun is way out of frame. One example shows poor flare at sunset with the sun way out of frame. I have not seen that before with any lens. Others seem impressed by it, but a hard pass for me.

Also considering getting one... Has anyone spotted any reviews yet?

Unlike the 7Artisans lenses, these things have landed w/ a dull thud.
For them to make any sort of impact, now that there is competition on the 'low end', they need to cut their prices by 50%.
