This ought to be interesting on a Lumix DMC-GH1 for shooting night time video:

I guess these guys are trying to evoke Noct-Nikkor with their company name, even though they have nothing to do with Nikon, as far as I can tell...

From dpreview:

Quote:
After a brief online campaign, US-based company Noktor has announced its first product: the HyperPrime 50mm f/0.95 lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. This ultra-fast manual focus lens with manual aperture control bears an uncanny resemblance to the Senko 50mm f/0.95 C-mount CCTV lens and shares almost all of its vital specifications. The company, that appears to be registered to a residential property in Canton, Georgia will start shipping the lens from April 15, 2010 at a retail price of $750.


Not that I trust anything from dpreview, but it's an interesting comment/insinuation they are making about the resemblance.

Quite overpriced for a reworked C-mount lens.

$750 seems to be right in line with what the Senko VFA5095H normally goes for, from a quick perusal of a few sites that sell it:

This is the same lens as the JML 50mm f0.95 TV lens that I have been using. It's not a bad lens at all and very usable wide open. I have a gallery of pictures taken with it and the Panasonic G1, if anyone wants to check it out: http://www.pbase.com/gummiebear/jml_50mm_f095
