The fact that they have a big presence in Poland is due to their relationship with Foto-Tip, whose parent company (DELTA) is the exclusive distributor for Samyang in Poland.

To be precise, "foto-tip" is not a seperate company, it's just a web store run by DELTA.
BTW, in my opinion big presence of Samyang in Poland is a result of the fact that here is a huge market for DSLRs and lenses.There are a lot of skilled amateurs, with high ambitions (young people, students), who often cannot afford lenses which cost USD 1000 and more. Samyang, moderately (or even cheaply) priced, is a good alternative for them with excellent price/quality ratio.
Looking forward to the 35/1.4.
The 8mm fisheye was great fun on a crop, the 14mm f/2.8 is very good on my 5D (on par with the 14L), so I'm looking forward to how the 35mm/1.4 will compare to the 35L.
It would be even better if they announced a TS-lens

Look at the mounts Ulrik, that Samyang *is* huge
I assumed, byt he shape, that the samyang mount in the picture is nikon, and the zeiss one is canon, and if they are, the images should be relatively close to a correct scale. (I used the nikon height from the samyang page and the canon height from zeiss). If i got the mounts wrong, it may change somewhat, but not all that much actually.
Edit: I see the mount-point though, but according to the height given from both producers.. gah, well, I guess I just have to wait and see :P
if those are really to scale and its that huge could we hope that samyang finally put in auto aperture into one of their lenses? That would be extra sweet!
EDIT:
... wait, I just realized that the site doesn't actually list this as a 35/1.4 yet... just gives the number and type of elements. Could it still be a 1.2 thus explaining size? BTW, they have an english version of the site so here's a direct link: http://www.samyang.pl/article,8,news
