Although the CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show has closed its doors until next year, there are still a few exhibits that were mentioned last week.

Among them, MirrorlessRumors reader Zetton spotted the new Handevision IBELUX 40mm f/0.85 and IBEGON 12mm f/2.8 lenses, announced by Chinese manufacturer Shanghai Transvision in December 2013.

The new IBELUX lens will be the world's fastest interchangeable lens on the market at the time of its release, and aims to bring the same amazing image quality that the Leica and Voigtlander f/0.95 high-speed optics are renowned for.

While the IBELUX 40mm f/0.85 was scheduled for release this month, according to the latest info, the lens will go on sale starting March at a price of $2,080 / €1,514. A release date for the IBEGON 12mm f/2.8 is yet to be announced, but the lens is rumored to be priced around $600 / €440.
