Really interesting news for us copter videographers. Could this see a large sensor camera for the Inspire 1, or maybe a slightly larger Inspire 2?

I think JCD joining in is bigger news. Mitakon already delivers a 35 mm F/.95 lens for $680 while Panasonic's own 42.5mm Nocticron F/1.2 runs anywhere between $1,400 and $1,600. ( Panasonic's lens is AF, OIS, however).

Mitakon also delivers an 85mm EF and G mount F2 lenses for $200 while Canon sells an own 85mm F/1.8 for $420.

Obviously, the idea here for JCD is to create the mid-high end lenses for about 50% less than what they are retailing for these days.

I think m4/3rds is the sweet spot for quality 4K drone footage since the lenses are much smaller than APS-C or full frame lenses. Here is one of my favorite 4K GH4 drone videos:
