There is going to be a ne Samyang lens soon. The new teaser launched on Facebook is very likely made for the new 100mm macro lens which is set to be available for Micro Four Thirds cameras too.

An F2 like my OM 100mm f2 at a reasonable cost would be nice.
100 f2 would be nice.
I wish samyang would make another MFT specific lens so it can be a nice compact size.. You can’t beat the 7.5mm .
I have and love the 7.5, but I’m guessing they didn’t see enough revenue (even after rebadging it as Bower and Rokinon) to justify making more dedicated glass for M4/3. You also can’t adapt a fisheye to a smaller sensor and keep it fishy enough – all the real fun happens at the edges 🙂
f/4.0 – cheap and compact. I know it would not happen, but can I dream?
60mm f/2.8 is more than enough
you forgot to add, “for me”
Rekt.
An iPhone with a water drop on the lens is more than enough.
A lens on your eye is more than enough
These are not native mft lenses so they are unnecessarily big and no af so pretty useless. You might as well use any lens with Nikon or Canon mount with a dumb adapter.
Yes, I hate the small MFT sensors, should have bought the Sony’s A6000 APSC sensor to use my wonderful Samyang 12mm F2.0 ultra wide
There is no APS-C macro. All good macros are FF, so if these has a reasonable size its still worth it, since no native Telemacro is on the horizon,.
the wonderful Zeiss touit 50mm macro.
why would you consider it over ZD50?
Yeah 50 mm is in your world 100 mm, very interesting point
No, 50mm is 50mm in “our world”. The focal length doesn’t change by sensors size.
I didn’t do my research, but there are quite few aps-c macros and rather good ones too. Some time ago i was using canon and had 60mm f2.8, it’s aspc only, but quite amazing optics. There are some from sigma and tamron too. Nikon also has something. So does sony and fuji. Fuji especially interesting, current one is lackluster, not 1:1. But there is 120mm f2.8 on roadmap now and it will be true macro with 1:1
Personally i would love native m43 100mm or 150mm f4 macro and high quality zoom in 100-300mm range
What are you on about? Canon has the EF-S 60mm. Nikon has the 40mm and 85mm. Tamron has a 60mm f/2. They’re all pretty good.
Too bad the MFT sensor is so small, should have bought an APSC camera instead. I wanna use the wonderful APSC lenses like the Samyang 12mm ultra wide, Sigma 19mm 30mm 60mm and the amazing Zeiss touit lenses for Sony and Fuji.
Instant buy if it has the ususal samyang optical quailty and is not to bulky.
I remember when Samsung offered good value and was a budget alternative to the other companies. The rumored price I saw for this was very close to the Canon and Nikon.
It’s Samyang, not Samsung
I meant Samyang. But you probably knew that. I get it, some people are just douches.
If you can’t say what you mean, you don’t mean what you say.
Only douche is the one who calls others as such.
Honestly ill wait for Olympus to release their own Pro macro lens. Untill then i have my lovely ZD50 & 60 2.8. As a non macro general close-up lens, 40-150 Pro satisfies my needs perfectly.
“Honestly ill wait for Olympus to release their own Pro macro lens.”
I’m not really sure what Olympus could put into a pro line macro lens that would make me choose it over the current 60mm version other than a longer focal length for more working distance. The current 60 is good enough to be considered a pro lens as-is though.
100 f1.0 sharp from edge to edge?
100mm F1.0 macro would be stupid. Macro lenses for m43 don’t need to be overly fast an F2 is the fastest that makes sense. In macro you really want more dof. a fast macro lens for 35mm would be a big compromise, but necessary to get the dsired shutterspeed vs get enough subject.
Who needs a specialised f4 macro lens these days? I need a sharp fast crisp tele prime with nice colors and contast, macro option would be a good addition to it.
Have you ever shot with lenses like Zeiss Makro Planar 100 f2? You do relize how versatile this lens is? I can shoot low light, portraits, landscape, macro etc etc
Do you understand what i mean?
100mm/f1 = 100mm front lens diameter… This would be very expensive, heavy and thus pretty pointless. A 100/2 would be 50mm, and even a 100/2.8 could be a great lens.
With macro you want the focus plane be parallel with image plane, sharpness edge to edge is secondary.
why admin keeps deleting my comment when I said the MFT sensor is smaller and I want an apsc body to use the samyang 12mm ultra wide and sigma 30mm and the Zeiss touit I dun understand
then go to fuijirumors or alpharumors if you want aps-c sensor
Because your comments had absolutely nothing to with M43. There are Sony and Fuji sites linked at the top of the page.
You should get one for yourself, good for you!
Because you are a troll. This is a m43 rumor site. Go be a jerk elsewhere.
My wish has come true, a budget 100mm macro. I have the Nikon AFD 105, but its for sale.
bokeh, manual focus pulling, focus breathing. many things i dont like about the nikon. I hope the Samsung wont have all these problems
Can’t go wrong with Samsung.
Ah, my fault. Imeant Samyang ofc. 🙂
I have an old manual Minolta MD 100mm f/4 Macro, which goes only as far as 1:2 without extension tubes, but is an very good lens for macro photography as well as for longer distances. I also have a fully automatic 100mm f/4 macro with autofocus which does 1:1 to infinity – my ZD 50mm f/2 macro with the EC-20 2x converter, which needs to be stopped down a bit for maximum sharpness, but that’s what I usually do for macro photography anyway. As much as I’d be interested in a new 100mm Macro lens, for me and my OM-D it should at least offer f/2.8, 1:1 without additional accessories, and electronic contacts for automatic aperture and communication of EXIF data. I wouldn’t insist on AF, although of course I’d prefer to have it, even if I seldom use it at macro distance.
Then again, with an E-M1 and an FT adapter already in my bag, I might just as well look out for a second-hand Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro with FT mount, which has always been an excellent lens…
i have manual Vivitar 90 f/2.8 Macro 1:1 by Komine i dont see the point in new maual lens by samyang when you can easy buy old excelente lens like Tokina ( bokena ) 90 macro and Vivitar and ect..
answer: weight– I have the Bokina which weights in total with 1:1 adapter ~ 1kg. For travel this singel lens weights more then 3 other MFT lenses together , although i love the lens! Don’t get me wrong.
Vivitar 90mm 2.8 Macro 1:1 is about 400g and is great – i bet it wont be lighter than that
The Vivitar “Bokina” is the 90/2.5 bmanufactured by Tokina, I am not referring to the Komine version. My balance says ~ 1 kg including 1:1 adapter and tripod mount.
Bokina is not Vivitar – is >Tokina made by Tokina I am not referring to that, I am referring to- Vivitar 90mm 2.8 Macro 1:1 with sn 28xxx is made by Komine and is 480g !!
Just get yourself a Makro Planar 100 f2 ZF.2
Olympus 60mm 2.8 macro is the best macro lens Ive used. Sold all of my manual Leica lenses.
150mm f5.6 1:1 Macro please…
Unless this will be 2:1 (and it won’t) its gonna be just another 100mm usual macro
I was doing 7.5:1 with Pana 20 reversed on top Pana 50-150. Little bit tricky to deal with aperature on 20 but feasible
