Weight: 740g! It’d be a bit front heavy on mirrorless cams…
Yeah, not a mirrorless lens for sure. I hope we get some dedicated mirrorless lenses soon. Something cheaper than Touit, and for more systems.
I got super excited. For 2 seconds. Do the APS Samyang lenses even sell? I regularly see nice shots taken with the FF 14 2.8 but I rarely see any SLR-APS stuff…
Btw. I like the ‘mirrorless’ designation on their 300mm mirror lens.
For those dumb people who cannot buy and mount a mount adapter themselves?
It’s a much better to buy Nikon F version of that lens and be able to use it on nikon, canon, and all mirrorless systems than sticking to one mount.
and it will be a lot easier to sell it rather than version in mirrorless mount.
This is a non-fisheye, correct?
What a pig! I can’t believe a 10mm/2.8 for m43 would weigh in at over 700 grams. That just can’t be right. If it is this heavy then I would be hard-pressed to own such a lens and put it on a 300 gram m43 body, plus it would be enormous.
I bet it’s a 10mm/2.8 for Nikon FX/DX mount that can be adapted to other mounts
I hope they don’t skip the 12mm f2! it would be nice to have a less priced zuiko 12mm competitor 🙂
It is not a mirrorless lens, it is a DSLR lens adapted to mirrorless, that is why it is huge and heavy. And MF again. And see the recent article of lensrentals about lens reliability. Basically – useless.
Share and enjoy!
Yes, it is a retrofocus “SLR” lens, but it’s still cool, I think, to have, and most lens companies have a lot of experience designing good, bright retrofocus wide-angles. I don’t think there has ever been a symmetrical lens with a comparable spec, so it would be hard to rebuild that know-how; even the current, comparable Leica Ms are all retrofocus, I think, and run about 45-70mm long, with 47-77mm filter threads.
The Olympus 9-18 is about 80mm long when in use, so this wouldn’t be too hideous. I do think this beast is bigger than the “old version” Leica Elmarit-R 19/2.8, however.
We’ll see about the performance. Retrofocus lenses tend to have more spherical aberration, but also gives the designers more ways to correct problems.
All said, I’m happy that it will have a filter thread at all!!!
Oh, I misread that. No filter thread… Not another one! 🙁
86mm diameter?
Just wow!
The rumored Sony with on sensor AF will make many of these manual focus lenses very attractive.As for the size obviously the lens itself is sized for the largest format it will work on with the only difference being the mount at the end.To make completely different sized lenses for the various formats would mean making multiple lenses which is never going to happen.
