It appears that very few of these lenses have been sold (outside of China)
so far. Besides ebay, the only other way to buy them is directly through
the company's website.

There is a new Venus 60/2.8 Ultra-Macro (up to 2:1) lens. As far as I
understand it has adjustable magnification. It's made in China. Petapixel has
