Hints: Cosmicar 12.5mm f/1.4 has the same performance and effect as this lens.
Some is really dirt cheap, if you can accept this kind of features.
But you should find somebody to help trimming the back of the lens because the diameter is too large to fit into the C mount adapter.

I can definitely tell you, there is no such kind of lens with such focal length.
They just try to confuse you for its so called uniqueness. Usually, the CCTV might be made as 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 16mm, etc. But you should never find one made as 11mm. By the way, you have no equipment to measure the accurate viewing angle of this lens. It can be claimed 8mm or 10mm or 12mm either…

Again, another joke.

You know what I meant. You can get that kind of image by putting a circular uncorrected image of any m4/3 kit zoom (taken at 14mm) onto a black background in Photoshop. I can only imagine the kind of vignetting this lens has at F1.4 – note that all the samples are taken at F4 and smaller.

haha funny…i dont think any lens for m4/3 is as advertised unless oly/panna gives us a FF m4/3. But if we get a FF m4/3 we probably need to get our lens all over agian

image circle looks pretty large for a $210 lens. The SWITAR 10mm i bought for $700 has worse vignetting than this lens
