Kipon has shared new details about an upcoming 12mm F2. 8 manual wide angle lens for APS-C camera systems. The Ibegon 12mm F2. 8 lens is being sold under the Kipon name, but its optical formula was designed by the German IB/E Optics.
Its optical construction consists of 12 elements in nine groups and it features a seven-blade aperture diaphragm. It has a minimum focusing distance of 15cm (approximately 6in) and an aperture range between F2. 8 and F22.
Blurry MTF charts provided by Kipon.
Currently, the product page only mentions availability for Fujifilm X mount camera systems, but Kipon previously teased at CP+ 2014 that it would be available for MFT, Sony E and EOS M mounts as well. Kipon hasn't shared specific pricing information, but says it plans to ship the lens starting September 2019.
