I want to see someone who buys this junk. I wanna try to understand what's motivating these people.
The producer's behaviour is nothing short of astounding as well. We've seen grossly overpriced lenses before (like the Nikkor 58/1.4) but at least they had something to offer on the exterior side. This, however, is just plain adding zeros to a sticker for no reason whatsoever.
P.S. I clicked the link and looked at the samples. They look incredibly hazy and low-contrast (?) to me. If someone is after a lo-fi look like this, fine... but it doesn't cost €1700, not by a long shot. Maybe only in a hipsterish otherworld.
