This looks interesting. Not cheap, but f/1.1:

That would depend if you at looking at a monitor or a credit card statement.So I don't know that I'd expect any direct comparisons to the Noctilii (plural of Noctilux?) or Nokton.
My hat is also off to Mr. Miyazaki for his design skill and perseverance. It's wonderful to know that a small family shop is able to produce a lens like this, and while it may be a little long in the "character" department I'm sure it will produce captivating images in the right hands.I too think it's pretty awesome that there's "a guy" in Japan (or anywhere) making custom lenses. I hope that it's something that becomes more possible as personal-scale manufacturing is making advances.
Taylor - Thank you, and my apologies for not getting back to this thread earlier.Chris - 3% transmission loss is 4.4% of a stop, so f/1.1 just becomes T/1.14, not much difference.
stops lost = -log2(transmission) = -log2(0.97) = -log(0.97)/log(2) = 0.0439
T rating = F + stops lost = 1.1 + 0.0439 = 1.1439
