Looks like Mr. Miyazaki of MS Optical has another new Leica M-mount lens coming out soon- the tiny but fast 35mm f1.4 APOQUARIA.
Check japanexposures.com , your best source in Japan for MS Optical lenses, for info on pricing and availability once this lens officially goes on sale- should be soon.

Photographer: The one and only Matt Jacobson
It’s always both an extreme honor and a real blast to get to meet up with Matt when he’s in Tokyo- We first met on the street in 2013 when I was doing the shoot for my monthly Nippon Camera magazine feature- he and his wife and his rad M9 appeared in the December issue. We share enjoyment in fine cameras and lenses and it’s great to get to meet up with him when he’s in town.
Matt is an executive at Facebook and was recently featured in a great article in the New York Times. (That piece mentions one of his homes, an architectural masterpiece that you can read about here) He’s one of a kind- as Nick Bilton wrote in the NYT piece “If you mixed the personality of a laid-back surfer, the refined style of a fashion designer, the pizazz of a Hollywood producer and the self-confidence of an entrepreneur, you’d have Matt Jacobson.” Not only that, he treats everyone with genuine respect and class. It’s also cool that his vibe is never “look what I got”- it’s always a pure and honest “look what I love”- that’s a huge difference and it’s the one that matters most. You can get a feel for his style and demeanor while he talks about his wristwatch collection in this episode of talking Watches on the watch site Hodinkee.
In addition to all the other things that make him an incredibly busy guy but Matt also finds time to run a fashion tumblr called Grown Man Style- a cool one to follow. Check it out.
