Samyang just announced the availability of the new 35mm f/1.4 lens since February 2011. Samyang lenses are manual focus only but very cheap with with good image quality! Read for example the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 Photozone review (Tested on the Canon 5d

What year is it?
@admin:
proper English would be: “Samyang 35mm f/1.4 for FourThirds on sale from February 2011 onwards.”
One other option is: “Samyang 35mm f/1.4 for FourThirds on sale starting February 2011.”
What’s with all the nitpicking on admin’s English. It’s not even his error to begin with. That’s what it says on the Polish website.
+1
Well that’s not really a reason is it? And I’m not being a bitch I mean it’s ok if admin’s english is not top notch I’m just trying to help. wtf…
I agree, Admin has admitted to poor English before… If I am correct he’s even asked for us to help him out!!!
is this designed specifically for m4/3?
No. It’s a 24×36 lens, available in Canon EOS, Four-Thirds (not µ4/3), Nikon F, Pentax K-A, Samsung NX and Sony Alpha mounts.
35mm is a most useful focal length for my needs and this one seems to be fast and affordable. However, on 4/3 it is almost useless. Oh well, the 20/1.7 will have to do for now.
I own two other Samyang lenses, an 8/3.5 fisheye (has to be stopped down by 1.5-2 stops for decent sharpness, but it’s a bargain) and an 85/1.4 (very impressive). Hopefully this one is at least as good as their 85mm.
So if I decide to buy a G2, this would be a 70mm lens, good for portraits?
yes
as you said it is 70mm in 35mm inequivalent
Almost same as on a 1,6x canon 45mm
Though i really like to shoot people on streets so in most cases manual focus is useless for me.
its a good option for 4/3 but for m4/3 you have vc nokton 35 1.4 as the good option, or the nokton 35 1.2 for superfast lens fetishists 😉
its ok to see that 4/3 gets more options for lenses nevertheless…
