The manual focus lens, which is set for an April 2020 release in the Japan market for ¥145,000, is constructed of 11 elements in 8 groups, features an aperture range of F.095 through F16 and features a ten-blade aperture diaphragm. The minimum focusing distance is 34cm (13.4in) and it features a 77mm front filter thread.

Cosina has also added a new aperture switching mechanism that will de-click the aperture ring for times when you don’t want the tactile and auditory feedback. The lens measures in at 82.5mm (3.25in) diameter and 87.7mm (3.45in) long, and weighs in at 860g (1.9lbs).
No pricing or availability information has been given for regions outside of Japan.
