At the end I buy Fuji

One thing to be aware of with the Mikaton is that there have been QC issues and customer service has been slow and grudging. This is per several comments on the Internet that I have found believable. So I might suggest buying this lens from a retailer that will allow returns should you get a bad copy.

Thanks a lot for pointing this. Due to several bad experiences, it matters a lot to me. So I've searched by myself and went to the same fear as yours.

Since the Fuji is currently 510 euros VAT incl. here in France, with a solid warranty and easy return (in a shop), and since the Mitakon is not much less expensive, with not so easy returns and unknown support, I ended up buying a Fuji 1.4 at the end. So long for the super soft OOF of the Mitakon, but the Fuji has character a well.

I hope that I'll be pleased and that AF will be faster on a recent E3, than reported in many reviews, but often with a T1.
