I'm gonna check it out at Photokina. It's just an hour away.
If I'm allowed to take some photos, I'll post them here.

I'll be going, too, probably Saturday. I definitely expect them to have a demo lens to try out! Let's see how it feels and handles...

OK, I was referring to the older Zeiss Contax and Rollei versions, which is quite a bit smaller and lighter than the new Zeiss

And another new 35/1.4 announced. This time from Nikon. Smaller than the Samyang and Zeiss.

35/1.4 seems to be en vogue currently. So who's next? Canon 35/1.4 L II? Sigma 35/1.4?

Another specification detail of the new Samyang 35mm: minimum focus distance is 0.3 m.

Very likely IMHO.

Happy shooting,

ouch, $1800 usd for the nikon 35/1.4. i hope samyang hits this one out of the ballpark with a fantastic lens and price-point.

I can forgive the Samyang it's size if it performs like the 85 1.4

Maybe the f/ratio is more like 1.2 but the transmission is so low that they chose to market it as a f/1.4? Is that a likely hypothesis? (Just speculating here)

MFD: at 0.3m That's quite nice!

if that's the case then you'd still get bokeh like a 1.2

I think it is unlikely, if the f-ratio is f1.2, I am sure the marketing will jump on it. Do you think they will hide the fact just so to keep the other camps happy?

I would rather they make a strong f1.4 over a weak 1.2. Waiting for this one...

Even though its closeup and not as tough for OoF rendering, the bokeh looks pretty nice.

The styling seems to not have been a priority in the design, as was the English press release. What's that strange copper colored ring?
Lets hope the optical quality was on top of the priority list.

Happy shooting,

It seems like soft corners and vignette is to be expected on FF.

"Samyang 35 mm F1.4 AS UMC was constructed to fit most popular reflexive cameras with small sensors".
