Are this pictures correct? Is the e-mount version really as long as the a-mount version? I thought the “native” e-mount Samyangs just had a tube added to accommodate the missing flange distance?
The picture is not corresponding to the product, the 85 for E mount is some 4 cm longer because of the tube. Photo dealer do not take this to serious and just put any picture for all mounts.
I was hoping they hadn’t done that, but I’m not surprised – when I asked the Samyang guy at a recent camera show he seemed remarkably evasive when I asked that exact question.
They did the same with their 8mm f3.5 initially, just adding a tube on the back of the SLR lens, but later redesigned an excellent 8mm for the E-mount at f2.8
Can’t say that I’m at all interested in the SLR lenses with built in E-mount adaptors; those are big and clunk and I can do that myself.
But when they redesign a lens explicitly for E-mount, those have been excellent and in the case of the 8mm, better than the SLR version.
