Saw this new lens previewed in the British Journal of Photography (BJP). It lists for $2,999 at B&H as a special order, made by Meyer-Optic Gorlitz. Here is the BJP blurb:
"Meyer-Optic Gorlitz is introducing an ultrafast standard lens, the Nocturnus 50 mm f/0.95 II. The manual focus optic is designed for the Sony E-Mount and optimized for full frame sensor but also works with a APS-C cameras. The aperture range extends to F-22 and there are 15 aperture blades to help create pleasant bokeh with rounded highlights. The lens design also "ensures high levels of sharpness in the focus plane". The manual focus control along with stepless aperture ring operate in near silence, making them a good choice for moviemaking."
