Can they beat Master Primes, is what I wanna know...

If plans work out I would be back in the US soon, and will do a test on Monstro sensor with all current FF lenses for a possible upcoming project, if funds do come trough.

Master Primes, even after a decade an a half are still the lenses to bit in my strong opinion, just finished shooting some VFX work in India and still in love with them, if only they covered FF

However by image quality, any of the newest modern FF glass will bit or get past MP's sharpness, the Tokina 50mm did just that against the MP 50mm.

However for me its also about the design of the housing and the inner soul of the lens, I still have yet to use a lens that handles Follow Focus and manual Focus as smoothly and as perfectly fluid and softly across the entire barrel as MP's do.

Look forward to test this as well as the other ones soon.

Dan,

I thought he was just joking too.

But, he was joking.
