E&I Creation Co has announced the SG-image 50mm f/1.8 Funtom, calling it: "An innovative interchangeable lens featuring the world's first* variable-shape aperture, which allows you to change the shape of the bokeh."
Images show four aperture shapes: a snowflake, heart, oval and star, used to modify the bokeh produced when shooting with the lens. The term "variable-shape aperture," suggests that these shapes can be seamlessly changed on the fly, but detailed specs are thin on the ground.
