Hi,

as a great fan of spectacular lenses popping up from samyang, this really hypes me up. I was thinking getting a 24mm f/1.4L and i just saw this posted on Samyang's facebook profile 10 minutes ago. I'll be one of the first in line getting the lens!

Yeah, but all of Samyang's lenses are completely manual, so you can still get one and use it with an adapter. However, they also tend to be large, so there's that issue. (I occasionally use a Saymang (Rokinon) 85/1.4 on my m4/3 bodies, but that's passable...the 35/1.4 is not really)

"They tend to be large"

Are they? I think the 35/1.4 felt a little on the large side compared to other 35/1.4's, but not massively so. The 85/1.4 was in line with others. The 8/3.5 was in line or significantly smaller than others. The 14/2.8 was around the same size as others too.

lol...try the ZE 35/1.4 on for size... now THAT is large... granted in the context of a wafer-thin NEX it does change things

great to see them coming out with new interesting lenses. probably not something i have a use for (i'm trying to move all my wide angle shooting to the NEX), but exciting nonetheless.

On Nikon, the newer ones have auto aperture.

Full frame fast lenses are Big, no getting around it.

I can't see the links at work, but I'm looking forward to it. I'd like to have a 24/1.4 and an 85/1.4 for my Nikon and frankly I don't feel like coughing up thousands of dollars for AF-S G lenses.

Their 35/1.4 and 85/1.4 seem to be interesting lenses so hopefully this one will continue that trend.

It is a Big one though, so don't count on it being convenient on a NEX or m4/3. A rough size comparison (w/o lens hood):

The Leica 24 Summilux is by the way a relatively large lens as far as rangefinder lenses go..

Yeah, I tried out a nokton 35/1.4 last week - easily fits in your pocket.

I'm still a little excited about this 24 though. I didn't get the 35 cuz I love my distagon but I've got nothing at the 24 focal length.

I'll get this or the 35 for my maxxum and then adapt to the NEX.

I'm waiting for aps-c specific lenses from Samyang.

Bummer the article on their site says "small sensors" so I guess it will not work on a ff camera, that is too bad.....

small sensors= small format, as opposed to medium or large format, ie "full format" 135mm

Their 35mm announcement was worded in the same way, and the same concerns about APS size image circle were raised.

After the lens diagram:

"Specifications f=24mm F 1.4 (35mm format)"

And they refer to the Angle of View on 35mm, APS-C and 4/3".

Also, it would be the first Samyang for APS-C, and a very unusual focal length for APS-C...

This can't really be APS-C only can it? It wouldn't make sense for them to release 14, 35 & 85 full-frame and then make the 24 APS-C :S

Was hoping their next offering would be a 135 f/2 (or 1.8!).

I'd buy any of the following lenses without hesitation if Samyang could keep the same price tag and quality:

- WA Tilt and Shift lens (24 or 28mm)
- Short tele Tilt and Shift lens, if possible able to do 1:2 (80-100mm)
- A long macro 1:1 or a lens able to do from 3:1 to infinity

Make them a 24/3.5 T&S, a 85/2.8 T&S 1:2 and a 200/4 1:1 or a 100/2.8 3:1 for 500€ each and I'll buy them all.
