The NEX 7 is a great little camera; I am also very excited to see quality system lenses come out.

Thanks for the share Yakim..

Being not very interesated in Samyang products myself, I wonder if they will be make AF NEX lenses, why their SLR range for Canon is so primitive to the point of lacking not only AF but even automatic iris control.

Sony made the e-mount open to all manufacturers last year and provided mount specs in order to facilitate several 3rd party lens makers.

There are a bunch of E-mount lenses that could be built, and so far Samyang has made some good bang for your buck FF lenses even though they haven't made autofocus lenses. I think kit would be smart for them to start with a 14mm lens. Autofocus won't be as critical on such a wide lens and they have some experience making lenses this wide. It is also a focal length that could use some coverage on NEX. The other obvious lens would be a 35mm f/1.4. Why Sony hasn't made such a lens is a bit baffling. If they added those two lenses in a year or so and a 18mm f/2 and a 60mm as soon as they could after that, in my view they could really bolster the NEX system.

Does Samyang have an official importer in usa? Vaguely when I remember checking places like bhphoto I could not find their current lenses.
