Has anyone imported the lens from Hongkong to Europe? I would like to know the actual tax that one should pay to import the lens?
It depends, best idea can be just get one via PV deals.
I hope to add all remaining Mitakon lenses this weekend.
I am a bit nervous to jump and buy this lens.
It seems that it is a bit wider than Leica 25mm f1.4 from the "bottle" example at that website. I like that it is a bit wider. Whether the actual t-stop is faster than the Leica 25mm f1.4 have left me with a question.
Can anyone confirm the actual improvement in the light gathering of this lens compared to the Leica 25mm f1.4 or Lumix 20mm f1.7? Is the lens a bit wider as well compared to Leica 25mm f1.4?

Any reason or measurements proving otherwise?
Usually at F0.95 all lenses have significant vignetting, so actual exposure advantage is less than you can think. But it is almost 100% of such lenses.
The significant vignetting explanation makes sense in explaining variability in meter reading in the discussion section of the blog. If someone got a camera that behaves to give more balance to the meter reading to reduce the vignetting, then it will make the light gathering seems to be less.

Your words make not much sense. Vignetting does not depend on metering. And with different cameras matrix or similar metering can get you different results. As it can be very advanced, and lens has little to do with it.
