[shoplink 21147 ebay]The Full Frame 85mm T1.5 Cine Lens for NEX[/shoplink]
–
We all like the A7-A7r but the biggest problem is the limited and expensive lens range. But Samyang announced that they will release five prime lenses for the new FF E-mount system within…two months! Here are the primes that will be released:
Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC
Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC
Samyang T-S 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC
Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC
Samyang 85mm f/1.4 AS IF UMC
These lenses will be manual focusing, cheap and deliver a high quality performance. Right what we need! The only issue…these lenses are actually designed for DSLR cameras and what they will do is just to make them E-mount. It means lenses will be big. A proper E-mount designed lens would have been smaller and more likeable.
Currently Samyang already offers four Cine E-mount FF lenses:
14mm T3.1 Cine Lens for Sony E sold as [shoplink 21135 ebay]Samyang (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21136 ebay]Rokinon (eBay)[/shoplink], [shoplink 21137 ebay]Bower (eBay)[/shoplink].

PRESS TEXT:
Krakow, October 16th 2013 – Samyang informs about the release of a new series of Samyang lenses for Sony E mount.
Within two months Samyang lenses, appreciated by both of professionals and amateur photographers, will be also available with Sony E-mount. High quality optics, that makes Korean products famous across the world, will please not only DSLR cameras owners, but also users of Sony NEX and Alpha family. Series will be available with the following focal lengths:
- Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC
- Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC
- Samyang T-S 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC
- Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC
- Samyang 85mm f/1.4 AS IF UMC
All lenses guarantee high quality image with simultaneously high aperture. Use of lenses made of special optical glass along with aspherical elements allow to effectively eliminate optical defects, together with care of the highest performance.
Samyang Sony E-mount series will allow all Sony NEX owners to fully experience high quality optics without additional adapters. Giving the fact, that lenses are prepared for 35mm format, they will perfectly work with not only APS-C cameras, such as Sony NEX 7, but also with the newest Sony Alpha 7R and Sony Alpha 7.
At the moment Samyang provides VDSLR series with Sony NEX mount, which has been designed especially for videomaking purposes:
- Samyang 14mm T3.1 ED AS IF UMC
- Samyang 24mm T1.5 ED AS IF UMC
- Samyang 35mm T1.5 AS IF UMC
- Samyang 85mm T1.5 AS IF UMC
All constructions mentioned above are not only the highest class of optics providing best quality image, but also casing and mechanics built in a view to filmmakers requirements. They can easily be used with popular DSLR cameras having the function of recording, and they are also available for Sony E cameras. This creates a chance to use them with Sony NEX-VG900, NEX-VG30, NEX FS100E or older types without additional adapters.

lol all SLR lenses remounted
You mean “marketing spectacle”
Who wants to put a wager on EcoR1’s theory that these are just the same lenses with a different housing to match the FE mount?
I put a fiver (quids) on that if anyone’s in.
Nobody will take on that wager 🙂
If only they were actually redesigned and not just SLR lenses with a built-in adapter…
well its a step in the right direction. I will be ordering 85mm for portraits with my 7R
The Samyang 14mm is one of the best primes ever made. It is on par with the Canon EF 14L.
Except its distortion.
Doesn’t any FF lens shorter than 20mm have issues with distortions?
Yep, but the Samyang is more difficult to correct.
Why would you want a fisheye without distortion? Personally, I vomit a little in my mouth every time I see that wide angle lens warping.
These are not fisheyes.
Sigh. I thought the 14mm would be a 8mm equivalent in terms of fisheye distortion.
14mm and 24mm are the worst samyang lens . 24f1.4 is very soft wide open and 14mm the same story . 34 f1.4 is worth money and I think can competition with zeiss 35 f1.4 or f2 version . 85 f1.4 is good too .
Not interested 🙂 I already have 85mm for my film EOS and nex-5n via EF-nex adapter.
does the autofocus work on the nex , what adaptor are you using , try ing to figure out the best ef tonex adaptor is
Sony knows what Nikon is up to, that’s why Sony is not going overboard with lens investments, they leave that to Zeiss, Samyang and others.
Hey don’t forget about the battery life problem ;)… they should work on new battery which lasts as much as the nex 7 one ( 450 photo instead of 270). Otherwise the presentation will be lying when they said it ‘s a new ff camera with compact body ;)… Indeed to take a reasonable number of pics we need the add-on battery grip which makes the A7 look like the Nikon D4 😉
I know its the same battery i meant which lasts as much as on NEX7 😉
Why would you not consider taking a spare battery or two in your pocket instead ?
Will FE lenses work on current E-mount camera’s?
Of course.
How it doesn’t make any sense if it answers the question?
Wouldn’t one of these cameras with the vertical grip attached solve the battery problem and work quite well with larger SLR lenses?
“the only issue…these lenses are actually designed for DSLR cameras and what they will do is just to make them E-mount. It means lenses will be big. A proper E-mount designed lens would have been smaller and more likeable.”
The approach is actually OK for 40mm+. If you notice, “native” Zeiss FE 55/1.8 is also made like this.
Samyang annouced before that they are planning a af e mount. They might surprise you.

Cool! 🙂
I am using 8mm f2.8 fisheye and 85mm Cine t1.5 emount versions with my NEX7 and I am liking it.
As far my analysis the metabones speed booster works best with canon EF lens and Nex cameras. But its pricy, only the adapter is $599, also the AF is not as fast as it is in canon cameras.
MF is easy in NEX7 thats why I have no issues with this lenses but AF is always a star. We badly need some 50mm with AF from Rokinon/Samyang.
