Dicahub spotted the first image of the new Samyang 50mm t/1.5 lens on an Asian magazine. UPDATE: On request of Samyang Dicahub now had to remove the image and asked me to remove it too. So I did although I don’t agree with it as this was published on a public magazine. Anyway, these are the lens specs:
- Lens Construction: 9 elements in 6 groups:
- Angle of View: 46.2 °
- Aperture: T1.5 ~ 22

What’s the price?

So, this one is SLR lens? Huge, but its size may mean it is a great performer at the level of Otus/Sigma.
No.
“No” what?
77mm filter thread seems a bit weird. My legacy fast fifties (50mm f/1.4) for Contax, Olympus and Pentax all have 55mm.
This is a new design inspired by the Zeiss OTUS. They all want to be in the race to make the largest standard lens out there. All Samyang lenses (old or new design) are huge to begin with. So, it is no surprise they jumped in this bandwagon.
It’s probably not “inspired” by a $4,000 1,000g lens. It’s gonna be around a 500g lens similar to their 85mm (similar size and element/groups). Yes, they’re both lenses around 50mm, but that’s about where the similarities end.
Good for A mount users but I’ll never buy such a thing for any mirrorless camera.
Asked to remove foto? Why not remove article as well – why made free commercial promo for Samyang for free? $)
It’s already “announced” on their website. Optically, if it’s something similar to their 35mm I will be quite pleased. It should be a fantastic addition to their lineup and the Cine version will sell extremely well. It’s actually is quite reasonably sized. Looks about the same as their 85mm.
That will open a flood of “remove picture” request…
