MS-Optics posted some of my sample photos taken with the Lumitar 50/3.5 in their Instagram
I gave links to my 3 Lumitar photo Albums to Miyazaki-san's grandson last week and told him they can freely use those in their Website or SNS.
There was a question posted in the comments by user called sonnargauss:
"Where can we buy directly from MS Optics? The MKdirect51 website still says Japan-only".
MS-Optics account replied:
"MS-OPTICS is where the lenses are made, and MK Direct is where they are sold. If you are overseas, you can buy directly from MS-OPTICS. To do so, please contact us via DM or msoptics @ gmail.com !"
So it seems like there may still be a path to buy directly from them for overseas customers as well, just dealing directly with MS-Optics (most likely with Miyazaki-san's grandson) instead of via MKDirect. I'm not sure how it works in terms of pricing etc. but it could be a useful option to check out.
