Now available for the EOS-M - mostly (only?) interesting because someone else is supporting the mount.

Looks a bit dodgy to me... Only 1 sample pic and not a great one either! I would pass.

Looking at their website, they have restarted the Yasuhara Company.

I think that their products are innovative and it looks like they know what they are doing. There are only a few distributors, so getting service will be a huge issue, likely requiring that a lens be sent back to Japan for service. The built-in light in the Macro lens is handy.

The 5X Macro has adequate information about it.

Their sample image taken with their fisheye huge a huge amount of purple fringing, not something that I'd want to show. The shadow of the photographer in the image does not look very professional either.

A company has to start at the bottom of the food chain, and there is a lot of low priced competition from Samyang, so they are trying to produce something that others do not make.

4 samples up now that don't look too bad.

I agree I like the lighting design. Hope it works well.

Very interesting.
