A year ago Samyang announced plenty of Full Frame E-mount versions of their current lenses for DSLR. But as noticed by our readers there is one lens that is still not available yet: the Samyang T-S 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC. You cannot even preorder it anywhere. Maybe one of you knows what’s going on at Samyang? Or maybe Samyang is reading this and wills end me a note…
All other four FE lenses are in Stock at Amazon (Click on it to see them):
Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC
Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC
Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC
Samyang 85mm f/1.4 AS IF UMC

Supposedly in stock in local store here in Finland. http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/28109/dqvbr/Samyang-T-S-24-mm-1-3-5-ED-AS-UMC-Sony-E-FF
Stocked in Finland huh? Pretty nice up their I’d imagine. If I was up their I’d be doing landscapes. If that was the case I’d be carrying around an 8×10 field camera. Not only because it’s cool, but because….well, that’s the only reason why actually. Carry on…..
Always you can buy EF,N,A mount and adapter. I don’t see sense of buying samyang with this “emount extension tube” at all.

OMG, a niche lens that ISN’T universally available… stop the presses!!
In Romania the Samyang online site (samyang.ro) says:available…
Here in Germany it is available via Walimex Pro.
I had a quick hands-on at Photokina, and all I can say – it feels rock-solid. Shift and Tilt mechanism seems to be high quality.
I am actually considering buying it, because the Canon option (24 L II with Metabones MK4 is more than double the price).
Judging by the poor photoshop work it’s not on the picture either : )
Why would you need this? Can’t you just tilt your body when holding the camera instead for the same affect? Are people that lazy?
You future comments will be weighed against this statement.
Or perhaps you’re right, and all those tilt shift lenses are a complete waste of time.
Do a bit of research first and educate yourself on tilt-shift lenses.
Not really 🙂 TS gives a very cool effect. You can achieve it in PP though, but not as nice as with a dedicated lens.

Also nice to straighten lines in the architecture photos.
You can’t achieve that in PP, what a TS lens is capable of. At least not without tremendously more time.
You are just kidding, arent’t you?

Am I allowed to ask a question out of context? Thank you, Whatever has happened to the friggin curved sensor RX2? No news, no rumors, no dates. I am just freaking out with this lack of follow up rumors. considering I have to make a purchase soon.
Camera rumors are for things that sometimes never are made. However, I think the compact version of this sensor did make it into the selfie cam. Or at least I remember reading that, not sure if ever confirmed.
I think that one is more of a desire by some than an actual rumor of an actual product, at least in the short-term future. 🙂
I don’t think it’s worth the price anyway. I mean Canon options are much better for only twice the price.
Depending on what your purpose is.
If you want to use it besides its TS capabilities as a moderate wide angle, than you are probably right. But if it comes to the TS option, and you are not a pro earning money with your images, than it’s a bargain for <1k.
I’m actually assuming that this one will break eventually and you’ll have to discard it whereas the Canon version will probably just keep going. Also, you can find the old Canon TS-E 24mm fairly cheap and I’m guessing it’ll at least match the Samyang in the image quality department.
As far as I know the MK1 of the Canon isn’t fairly good, and it might have some issues with adapting it.
I wrote somewhere below, that I took a short hands-on at PK14. Honestly, I am not a big fan of third parties (with some exceptions), but this lens is from built quality point of view really impressive.
I agree that it shall not mess with a Canon L in that context, but it is quite close.
I did only use it for some shots indoor. From IQ point of view it only has some flaws wide open – quite soft borders and corners. But stopped down to 5.6 it looks quite good.
I am going to use it for landscape stitching, so it will be used on a tripod anyway, so for me it is not relevant at all.
Indeed, this is great for stitching with a A7R. My TS-35 gives me about 50-60 MP depending on the crop ratio, if I remember correctly. That means A7R would achieve 75-90 MP and a Nex 7 with a lens modified to use all the reach it has, should reach 120 MP.
It might even make sense to put a QX1 behind this, using a Canon or Nikon version using an adapter with a tripod mount for better balance.
I bought the Canon version of this lens when it first came out, and it is by far the worst lens I’ve ever owned or used. It is not worth even half its price, just plain horrible, very soft with major vignetting … just about tolerable only at f/11. It was so bad that no one wanted to buy it, I finally had to give it away for free to “enhance” the sale of my 5D MK III
There was likely something wrong with your lens. They are also tricky to use due to the shiftable plane of focus.
Disgusting
And Sigma 50mm 1.4 art for Sony ??? When ????
