Excellent! Can you provide any more details on the lens? I've never even heard of it!

Thanks a lot guys!

Here how these two lenses (45mm + 85mm) look like (they can be easily adapted to any camera mount!):

They are pretty unknwon in Europe and USA, but can be found in Asia (I have a partner there).
Still very rare esp. the 45mm version. I have two such sets just in case....

Also for product shots very nice:

P.S.: also good for "retro style" stills (the resolution here does not do these stills justice at all)
