Nice shots Rawfa. I especially like the second set with the lady in the cafe. The OOF areas from this lens are very pleasing to me.
If you get the chance can you do a brief test of the closest focusing distance? I would really appreciate it. That first turtle shot looks pretty close.

That's pretty cool - a lens finally taking us close to what a 50/1.4 can do with a FF camera!
I like your samples Rafa, the lens obviously works very well in those situations. The samples at sonyalpharumors.com aren't as pleasing though. The "crescent style" rendering of OOF background highlights remind me about what we get from the CV 25/0.95 for micro 4/3, the shape of the mentioned highlights closer to the edges is weird. The LoCA is low and not jumping out of the screen. I don't think the lens on camera is too big judging from the image at the rumor site.
Interesting lens, thanks for posting!

Some unfair comparisons. us$800 Mitakon 35mm f0.95 vs a us$30 CCTV 35mm f1.7. The framing/composition was not exactly the same but the shutter speed and iso wass always the same and both lenses were wide open at all times. To be honest I was expecting a huge difference in light but it really didn´t seem the case.

nice Rawfa, See Steve Huff has done small reviews on that lens! Is that lens still readily available? Especially since it is in the same focal range and aperture as the Sony Zeiss 24.
At the moment my leave on camera lens is the olympus 40mm penF 1.4 lens. It has clinical sharpness, and descent bokeh, but most important, it seems to resist flaring well, which is suprising for a vintage lens.

I've started my trip 2 days ago and to be fair I haven't been using the 35mm at all. I'm in Maceio right now and this place really looks like paradise (I've been told it doesn't hold the candle compared to the next 2 places that constitute the rest of my trip). I've been using the 16mm pancake at all times, as all I see it's gorgeous beaches and landscapes...plus the 35mm won't fit in my underwater casing. Anyway, I'll only be able to post more pictures starting on December 2nd when I get back.
