I read with interest the ad for of the kickstarter campaign that is mentioned in the Sony Alpha News today 10.Aug. Usually I keep my opinion to myself but for this one I really have to say it. The Meyer-Görlitz Lydith 3.5/30 is everywhere on eBay for ~100US, if you want to dig deeper select Ebay.de and you may find even more. That is for their targeted list price of 1500 USD. Next for the magic: I have this lens since some time, I hardly use it but still want to keep it because 1) 30mm is unusual 2) it is nor razor sharp 3) it tends to be flat because of a very large d.o.f. I haven't yet experienced the "magic" of the lens nor was I aware of that such a thing ever existed. Maybe with the mini focal distance of 35cm one can take a shot of a flower and leave the backdrop blurred...
So: You want to unleash the magic? Get if from eBay , the _real_ thing made in Germany etc etc etc.
Yes this is my opinion, albeit strong. Let me hear yours.
