The new MS-Optical 40mm f/6.3 macro lens for Leica M is now listed on eBay (Click here).

Description via Japancamerahunter:

Miyazaki has been a very busy man lately. Not content with releasing a series of new regular lenses, he has also started working on the History Series of lenses.
And this is the fist in the series. The Prot 40mm 6.3, based on a classic design known as the Protaria lens formula which was designed by the legendary Rudolph Zeiss. I am still awaiting a full translation of the accompanying text about the lens.
This is a minute lens, weighing in at only 47 grams. it has a close focus of 60cm. 4 elements in 2 groups.
A fascinating little lens and something quite a bit different from what you usually see. A slower lens for a slower pace.

No camera could be complete without a lens – the glass technology that brings the world into focus. Dive into the history of the lens from it’s early beginning as a fire starting tool to the plethora of modern designs.

You can now check out the full size samples shot on the 16 camera. Pixel peepers en garde!

We can finally see more of the new RED Hydrogen system camera phone…I actually don’t know how to call it :)

Marques Brownlee just posted this exclusive first hands-on video:

This is how it compares with other phones:

And this the Hydrogen with a Triplet Lens module attached:

What Marques couldn’t show is the holographic feature. But RED promised to show a more finalized prototype in 1 month or so.

Overall this looks exciting and expensive!
