Samyang just revealed that “We would like to show a sample on Photokina. It starts 21 September of this year.
35mm will be 1.4 we don’t plan to make it 1.2. It should be available at the end of this year.”
We form 43rumors already told you months ago that this lens will also be available with native FourThirds mount!

manual focus?
Yes!
Why not 50mm f/1.4?
We are talking 4/3s here and not m4/3s, right? If so then this lens probably won’t autofocus on m4/3s either, right? Why are they producing lenses for a dead format(4/3s) when everyone is buying the new format(m4/3s)?
Give us m4/3s versions of the 4/3s lenses. That is all we ask for.
yes, that should have been in the news text, no even in the headlline:
– MF or AF (now answered)
– FT or mFT ??
I have been thinking these two questions immediately when reading the info.
MF, FT … and it’s a nice lens, if the optical quality is good. Zuiko can’t produce fast lenses and sigmas aren’t that good …. for the $$ thay ask for it.
You can certainly see your enthusiasm within the article you
write. The world hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe.
Always go after your heart.
