i have crazy theory.
it seems to share a lot of the samyang 14mm f2.4

@Vitaliy_Kiselev

Just optical construction is completely different :-)

@DrDave

They should have made it like a 14.2mm

Interesting. We already have Kipon that hint to German engineering with their BAVEyes focal reducers (not that great it seems https://translate.google.com/translate?depth=1&hl=en&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/review/special/20140416_644431.html ). Which are quite pricey (compared to the Lens Turbos). Now, IB/E Optics (Germany) and Kipon also joined forces by bringing us the Handevision brand. Pretty nice looking lenses, cool specs, but don't seem to perform all that great, yet are priced rather exclusively (I'm looking at you IBELUX 40mm f/0.85 ~ EUR 1.799 MSRP; haven't heard much lately about their IBERIT-line up they've announced: http://handevision.de/iberit-the-new-full-frame-lens-series-from-handevision/ . f/2.4 as well).

I hope these aren't just Korean lenses that do the same. Getting 'Swiss precision' involved and getting the looks and specs right just to be selling at premium prices, without actually performing all that well. So fingers crossed. More choice is always welcome and if it could target high-end Zeiss glass for example, but are more consumer friendly (like Rokinon/Samyang/Walimex Pro/Sigma ART)... that would be hella interesting. We'll see.

@roly 'Available mounts: Canon EF, Nikon F, Pentax K' it says on the site linked in the article
