Here is a preview of the coming lens, though it is written in Korean.

Summary:

1. Flares are reduced very much. When they appears, they are not cold but warm unlike the latest Canon lenses.

2. Chromatic aberration are also reduced very much, but not to the degree of Canon 35L II.

3. IS noise is low, but not good enough for video.

4. Very fast AF, of course.

The following review of the same reviewer.

Summary

1. Outstanding resolution

2. Its background blur is as beautiful as that of 85 1.2L II. It is difficult to tell the difference.

3. Purple fringing is reduced very much, but not to the degree of 35mm 1.4 L II

4. Ghosts/flares are reduced very much as well.

5. Wonderful Image Stabilizer.

6. Similar weight, but good handling.

7. Success rate increases because of fast AF and IS.
