Isn't it quite expensive for what both lenses offer?

If I'm understanding correctly, their target is already met!
$200,857 already pledged on the $50,000 needed........In that case they are there are they not?....
They quote at the end of the blurb.

Actually they explicitly mention the "bubble" bokeh so it's an intentional effect.
Whether you like it or not is a different question, of course.

And whether one uses it for good results of for bad is one'w own choice too.
