Hi Howard,

I don't know if it is a hoax or not, but I doubt it based on CV's track record of producing lenses and selling them for a profit at a price no one else in the industry seems willing or able to. Their 12mm lens is a tour de force. I've seen the Babel Fish translations of this webpage which are less then clear. I was hoping someone on the LUG with the ability to read Japanese would translate it.

Regards,

Greg
