<p><strong>*UPDATE 2*

</strong>Apparently Samyang is not yet ready to announce their first autofocus lens this go around. So we’ll see a 10mm, 50mm and something else?</p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE*

</strong>We hear a 50mm f/1.4 from Samyang is already in production and it could be a cine version or both.</p>
<p>Samyang posted another teaser on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=427851870692361&set=a.390613874416161.1073741834.386593994818149&type=1" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>. They have what looks to be three lenses being announced this Friday. One of the lenses is said to be a manual focus 10mm f/2.8. A second lens is rumored to be their first autofocus lens and it’ll be 35mm. As for the third one? That’s still a total mystery.</p>

My guess the mystery lens will be a 50mm f1.4, this will be a popular focal length in the mass sales market.
And theyve said before that they are working on one. Thing is, manual focus 50mm f/1.4 lenses are a dime a dozen out there with adapters, so, Im not sure how successful they'll be with that. Unless its very cheap.

The 10mm lens is one Ive been waiting for a while, price dependent. Looks like its been confirmed: http://www.ukdigital.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=samyang+10mm

Considering the left lens' bulbous element and small hood, I'd guess it's wider than 10mm.

Edit: then again, it looks like knobs on the barrel - maybe a tilt-shift lens?
I think you're right about the knobs, but I don't see the front elements at all, just the hoods.

Why doesn't the little guy have a mount unlike the others?
What seems like knobs might just be a ring (aperture ring, etc.). Notice it doesn't have a narrower stalk.

Hee...hee....maybe Sigma can borrow that tag line... "Our Past Is Just a Story, an Iffy One!" :o
I couldn't resist ...although based on my 35mm Art...the past may be the past for them too.
Will be interesting to see what SamYang offers up since they seem to be turning a corner as well.

Interesting, looks like it's for crop sensors only though.
Yeah, they technically announced the lens a year and a half ago, but they clearly had issues with production: http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/09/photokina-2012-samyang-10mm-f2-8-for-aps-c/

The 10mm will be a nice competitor with the Tokina at that focal length and f-stop. If it comes in below $400 US, it'd be a strong option. Also makes a good compliment with the 16mm f/2 they have for APS-C. The 50mm will be the interesting one. It has to be cheaper than the $300 that the Canon/Nikon 50mm cost, and yet it still has to be really good, because Sigma is about to drop a really great 50mm apparently (though obviously at a higher price).

I think the AF lens is a mistake for them. They probably do really good business with their cine lenses, they should stick with being a cheaper Zeiss-style brand

What this world really needs is yet another 50mil.. Don't think so, SamJunk is smarter than that.

Actually, the world does need a modern 50mm under $1,000 that's usable (for more than just portraits) at 1.4. If Sigma wasn't releasing a 50 of their own Samyang would stand to make a killing if it performs good wide open (i.e. on the same level as their 35mm and 85mm).

To me, it looks like an ultrawide (possibly fisheye) cine lens - the very shallow lens hood and gearing give it away.

Sorry to maybe disillusion you but I believe that these bulbs are not any knobs for T+S.
Reading that there is also the possibility for a cine lens, I believe that the bulbs are the typical gear wheels for focus (and sometimes aperture) that these cine lenses have.
But we'll see tomorrow.
