The release frequency is quite astonishing.
I have to say that their design is quite pleasing.
Any idea about the meaning of the odd brand name?

No RF autofocs: expected
85mm seems larger from competitors
105mm macro, t's tilt and shift and covers medium format, but it is a behemoth....i

A tilt/shift with a medium-format image circle should be good.
Whether a 105mm tilt/shift is interesting is a different question.
The fisheye is interesting - for me - but it's almost 800g. Still - if it is sanely priced ...

If they've mastered Autofocus, and presumably AE, why not make all of the lenses use these? It's a great mystery to me (BTW... R.I.P. Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac)

A 105 mm TS-lens is very useful for product- and macrophotography. It is what I mostly used my old TS-E 90 for. Also fun to use for portraiture, BTW.
