A Chinese reader confirmed to SonyAlphaRumors (who broke the news here) the pricing is this one and the company is known for making “fun” lenses.
Chinese lenses had always the reputation of being cheap and of bad quality. But companies like Viltrox and Venus Optics have turned the tie and now have shown that also Chinese lenses can be of high quality. But I guess this new Caye lens will belong to the first category of lenses: a terrific price but a horribly performance.
