Only native mft is fishey..the rest are FF with mft mount
Most of the Samyang lenses are DX format = APS-C not FF
DX is only marginally bigger image circle (29mm) than 4/3 (23mm), whereas FF is much wide (43mm)
But it doesn’t matter because you get always narrower angle of view because optical field of view is cropped.
So 135mm f/2 gives 1.5/2 times narrower angle of view and to get identical angle of view, you would need to use a 200mm or 270mm f/2 on APS-C or 35mm and those would be HUGE!
True, a 270 mm F4 would be a little longer. Not huge, unless one is a small child.
Admin….always trying to get us to buy stuff. My wife and bank account hate him.
I wonder if Olympus will do something like this once their PRO line is complete
I’m rather hoping Panasonic might produce a long one because OIS is better at longer focal lengths by around 1/2 to 1 EV
Olympus IBIS is at long end (150mm and 300mm) capable to produce 7-8 stops image stabilization. What Panasonic OIS manages to give 7.5-9 stops? Why doesn’t any GH4 user just throw away all the stabilization rigs and just use the mega OIS in Panasonic lenses?
(Do you know why video shooters don’t use Olympus? They drool about the IBIS but their ego can’t withstand the idea that they don’t have the best video compression ratio and their skills ain’t high enough to know Olympus video quality is far better than they need).
Just yesterday, I was shooting with 300mm f/4.5 handhold at night (clear sky, no light pollution) with ISO 3200, f/4.5 and 1″ shutter. Success rate handhold from standing position 4-5 out of 6. And that was 9 stops!
No do it with any OIS and you can clearly see they drop to 3-4 stops and gives in good firm handling about 4-5 stops (around 1/15-1/30 shutter speed).
With 150mm I can take 1.5-2 second exposures easily.
If I would had my monopod with me, I would have got couple stops even more and lower the ISO to 800.
Rubbish, as your usual.
7-8 stops? What drugs are you on? Show some proof, boy.
Yes…LOL…That case really keeps the “micro” in micro four thirds! 🙂
Idiot!
Cinematography isn’t about you standing there with a point and shoot doing music videos etc. You are anyways required to carry tens of kilograms of other gear from lights to lightstands, to power generators, wind generators, reflectors, hundreds of meters power cable. A branded case for all the Samyang cinema lenses is just there to replace the other case without branding.
Do you know about cinematography? Wow.
Yes, you really need to be a fan to buy this as you need all those.
Or how about just walking to closest home store and buy a same kind shock/water proof suitcase for 25€?
After all, upholstery in those are pre-cut so it is very easy to get wanted shape for own lenses and gear.
If its a softness: Billingham.
If its a hardcore: Pelican.
End of story.
it’s
Lets try that again.
If its a soft case: Billingham
If its a hard case: Pelican

(d’oh!)
heh – yeah Samyang are really certain people will buy those lenses. Well, in my opinion I think they’re more aware of the market than us consumers are – a lot of haters really think every other photographer shares their opinion, but to be honest, Samyang are looking at large format statistics and research, so we really have no idea. If I were a cinematographer using a GH4, I would save a lot of money by using the Samyang series instead of Panasonic/Olympus branded lenses. I’d be able to achieve results that would otherwise be out of my budget. I wouldn’t care about the size and weight because I’d probably be using rigs anyway.
I have kept all my OM gear in a similar Pelican case for nearly two decades now. I highly recommend them. My lenses would be infested with mold and fungi if it weren’t for such cases and lots of silica gel.
What sort of environment do you live/work in?
Ireland, where dampness and humidity are the norm.
Ah, the Emerald Isle. I knew there had to be a downside to those great vistas. Never had any moisture-related concerns with my gear over here in Holland, but the landscapes aren’t nearly as photogenic either.
Pretty silly. Like I’m really gonna carry a separate case just for Samyang lenses, and another bag for all my other gear.
