The lens has been designed and created by Sadayasu Miyazaki who has created a reputation changing classic lenses for the Leica M system, according to Digitalrev.

The lens uses four components in four groups and focuses from 0.4m to infinity, whereas the minimum aperture is F16. a decent deal of vignetting is alleged to be present once the lens is used wide open, however the designer says that once the focus is ready to 1.40m everything from 0.8m to infinity are going to be sharp and this lens is available in limited quantities from Japan Camera Hunter.

Miyazaki wrote while describing his creation, that a weakness of the lens is that the peripheral light fall off, particularly at most aperture; however this lens is improved compared to the 21mm and 24mm Perars. Distortion is unbroken to +/-2% that is concerning the typical for a 28mm lens compared to the Zeiss Distagon 18mm F4.
