Chinese optical manufacturer Mitakon has announced a macro lens with a maximum magnification ratio of 4.5:1. The Zhongyi Mitakon 20mm F2 4.5x Super Macro offers the opportunity to fill the frame of a 35mm-sized camera with objects four and a half times smaller than the camera’s sensor and can focus as close as 20cm, according to the company’s specification sheet.

the 20mm f/3.5 Nikon was designed to work just as well in reverse
i wonder how good that thing will go against the mitakon

I just hope that they made it with an auto-diaphragm without it it's kind of difficult.

Zeiss Planar 85/1.4 for Rollei SL2000F series had only three aperture blades.  Its Riemannian triangular bokeh has still been one of the most absurd one I've ever seen!
