p.6 #1 · Samyang 35mm f1.2 in the works

Intresting...so putting this shim/spacer between the camera mount and lens mount doesn't interfere with the boyonet EF mount...like make it stiff to latch? And what about any stray light entering the mirror box?

-Roy

No. The shim goes between the mount and the barrel of the lens.

1. Remove bayonet mount from lens.

2. Measure and cut shim to size.

3. Place shim over mount points on barrel. (the shim will end up ring-shaped, with 4 holes in the ring for the screws to pass through).

4. Re-install bayonet mount on lens.

I'll document the procedure with photos when I do it.

Thanks for the reply...when will this be shown?

Actually, I would simply like to know what 35mm prime lens will be made...a 35/1.4 and/or 35/1.2? Also, roughly when will this product go to market?

Thanks,
Roy Niswanger

Hope this lens will be at same level as Samyang 85/1.4(or better!!) - i`m interested in distagon 35/1.4 but it`s a lot of money for 35mm lens(i don`t use a lot this focal lenght). Btw Samyang Polish apparently replys only foreign emails.....next time i wil ask English

Samyang is exciting! I'm kicking myself for not investigating more when I was in Seoul last month.

We think alike.

Not exactly news, Samyang have always said they're making a 35/1.4.

I could never figured out why people believed they would make a 35/1.2 and only for Canon. Wishful thinking, I suppose.

Don't kick yourself too hard. Pricing, availability, and release date are comparable between here and eBay.

I am pretty sure at one point they indicated the possibility of a 35/1.2 for Canon because the mount opening is large enough to accommodate such a design. I do not have the exact quote. I suspect they tried a few prototypes and weren't happy with the results.

The original leak was for a 35/1.2, it then evolved into a 35/1.2 in Canon mount only and then a 35mm f1.4 in multiple mounts with or without an f1.2 version for Canon only.

The newer stronger-sourced rumours and the recent semi-official info from Samyang are all f1.4 only.

It's too bad I would rather a 35 1.2 than a 50 or even 85 1.2 anyday.
35 is my walk around prime focal length.
But if this lens can compete or exceed the 35 1.4 wide open it will still be very exciting. At the rate Samyang is making great optics i think I'll have a collection started in no time.

I just wish those geniuses at Samyang will put in 50 cent ROM chips into their excellent lenses so that we can get EXIF info, use "A" mode on newer Sony DSLRs and get AF focus confirmation!

I never could understand why they refuse to fully support the mounts they make these lenses for when the needed ROM chips are so cheap to implement and yet add so much value to their lenses. My Samyang 85mm f/1.4 is mostly unused because I cannot get focus at f/1.4 at more than MFD or in low light due to lack of focus confirmation.

They said they would be doing that on this 35mm if I remember right.

I just wish they'd add the ROM and an aperture lever on the A mount version, it would add massive value to an already good lens as that would net full A mount compatibility.

The Nikon and Pentax versions are fine as-is, they're already fully coupled although a ROM would add some bonuses (Auto-setting of FL for IS on pentax, support for lower-end bodies on Nikon, EXIF on both). Adding a proper aperture coupling for Canon would be nice, but would drive the cost up somewhat.
