I’ll be very interested in this lens if the IQ versus cost is good. I’ve never shot a tilt-shift lens, so I’m looking forward to the reviews and if good (with a good cost), I’ll likely buy it for landscape photos.

The expectations are running high.
I'm hoping this will be an affordable tilt and shift lens with decent optical quality so more photographers start shooting landscape with tilt and shift lenses. Once you try it, there is no way back.

I've been looking for a high quality wide angle for landscapes in particular a Canon 24TSE or Zeiss 21 distagon but the prices are a bit of a reach for me at the current moment. If the price is anything near 600 dollars I will definitely be picking one up (given the performace holds to traditional Samyang fashion.)

I'm guessing $1000-$1300, I highly doubt it would be the roughly the same price as their 24mm 1.4. I hope the optical quality is great.
+1
BTW, yesterday I had a chance to try out the 14/2.8, the 24/1.4 and 35/1.4 on a crop body (60D). I was hugely impressed (save from the mushtach distortion in the 14/2.8).
Yakim, the distortion on the 14 is very correctable. I really enjoy my 35 and 14, I'm hoping their tilt-shift is great. I haven't heard a whole lot on their 24mm 1.4-which lends me to think it's not all that great. It seems like Samyang is a bit quick with their announcements vs. actual releases so we may have to wait a while on this lens. I'm thinking we'll see it in summer or next fall some time.
