Yes, Ark-Kun, You are right about forcus confirm chips or electronics that helping user on manual lens. If that is 43 /CY /AR /PB /exakta mount, there still a way to use adapters to get it works with m4/3, however, this one not.

I don’t see this as a pro. It would be fine if they had anything m43-specific except the mount (like autofocus or just some plain electronic connection with camera). As the only m43 thing is the mount, I see this as a con (less universality).

I think there are a few points that we need to summarized:

1. It is modified from CCTV lens, which was originally not for photographic purposes;
2. Said to be a Japan design, no mention of Country of origin and whether the brand is the manufacturer. more likely a OEM CCTV lens modified to adopt m43 camera.
3. Did not shown how the Blades design or how it looks like on smaller aperture.
4. all photos on internet do not have exif for review of setting.
5. Price is US$ 750.
6. The cheapiest c-mount that made in China with 25/1.4 or 35/1.7 could be US$ 10-20
7. A decent brand of Cine lens could be around US$ 150-800, which are branded with good market value.

So, far, the only Pro that I see is that it is the fastiest lens that I see for m4/3.
