The MFT compatible Neptune Convertible Art Lens System is on Kickstarter

The Lomo guys created a new interesting convertible Lens System. You can finance their idea on Kickstarter:

The Neptune Convertible Art Lens System consists of a lens base that’s mounted to your camera and several convertible lens components. By interchanging the front components, you can shoot photos or videos at three different fixed focal lengths — 35mm, 50mm and 80mm. An Art Lens System unlike any other; it offers you all the freedom of a zoom lens without compromising on prime lens quality, and it’s the only convertible Art Lens out there to work with a range of modern-day analogue and digital cameras. Each component is assembled by using the finest multi-coated glass and crafted to produce exceptionally sharp focus and strong, saturated colors for stunning high-definition images — even when you’re shooting close-ups at 0.25m/9.8” with Thalassa (35mm), 0.4/15.7” with Despina (50mm) or 0.8m/31.5” with Proteus (80mm). This is an Art Lens System that lets you take beautifully intimate shots, allowing you to get near enough to capture every last detail of your subject. And because it’s so small and lightweight design, you can take it with you everywhere.

Capion Studio:GH5 & Nikkor-S 55MM F1.2 Test https://vimeo.com/213776898
This is some of the first footage I have shot with the Panasonic GH5 and my newly acquired Nikkor-S 55mm F 1.2 w/ Metabones adapter. This has been shot at two resolutions / speeds; UHD 60 fps, and HD 180 fps conformed to a 24p timeline. Footage was conducted via handheld and with the Ronin-M stabilizer. Coloring processed with Magic Bullet Looks.
Thoughts:
Personally I love the organic look the Nikkor-S 55mm F1.2 provides. It has low contrast and a soft ethereal “glow” to it at F1.2. My lens collection is rather clinical, so I am starting to invest in the vintage Nikon line to introduce more character into my work as shown here. The Nikkor-S 55mm F1.2 sharpens up around F1.8 – F2 to the point that it can compete with some of the best lenses out there. Chromatics are noticeable around edges, but I find it flattering to coincide with the organic feel. Give this lens a try, you will not be disappointed!”
