I just started a new thread about the Rayfact 2X-5X lens. It is amazing!

It was designed for 1:4/4:1 transfers, so I guess this means printing Super-8 to 35mm or vice-versa, though it has an image circle of 64mm. I would be very curious to know if anyone here has such a beast, or has ever seen or used one. Here are the specs:

Like the other PNs, it might have the definitive performance near its optimum. Of course it can't beat a Plan Apo 4x 0.2 in the center, but for LF imaging it might be just the ticket, with f12.6 effective at M=3.5.
I just missed one by the minute sold in Germany while chatting with the seller!!! Darn...

Hah! That's the first I've heard of the actual existence of this lens. Too bad you missed it.

Likewise, first time I’ve heard of one for sale. Tragedy! How much did it go for?
