Oh I thought you might have read
"The 23/1.4 and 33/1.4 are here now for testing. Haven't started yet but it's a good guess that the JP manufacturers should get nervous ..." from Klaus...
But a crystal ball works too, I guess ;-)

Vivitar? a sticker company... until recently sold some Samyang lenses as Vivitar, but not anymore, Samyang grew up...
The real Vivitar is gone quite a while.

Nervous? That's the exact term I overheard about the 33/1.4's bokeh :-D
Not that XF 35/1.4 is a cream machine, but boy, that 33's is in league on its own.

Is it an ED glass ball? Or aspherical?

The bokeh is quite good based on lab testing at least.
The highlights are very clean.
