This from the website of the UK Samyang distributor. Can you spot the conflicting statements here?

I think you missed the "available soon" It is not here yet... Apparently, the Rokinon branded version is due in May and I don't think the Samyang will be here much sooner. Also, there is talk of a price increase to $1300 on the Facebook page of Samyang Europe. How much of all that is true, I don't know.

Not that impressive.

Does anyone know when it might be released/pricing? I too am very interested in this lens!

Probably around March.

It's been on B&H for pre-order for months. $999, shows release date mid-May.

Converted from Croation currency it's roughly 950-1000euros, so in US it'd probably go for around 900$.

Samyang Poland is a distributor, and the Polish Currency is the Zloty

Samyang Lenses are made in Korea, and shipped directly to the USA under the Rokinon Badge. Samyang has a Polish Distributor, but, they do not make cameras, just sell rebadged ones

It would appear someone has already reviewed it. I don't know anything about the source, so I'm only posting this for those who are curious.

B&H shows that it'd be available from 2nd May 2013 for the Rokinon named lens ... the Samyang named one will be available from 15th May 2013 (but both are one and the same lens).

I thought Roger was a rich man, who can afford multiple copies of lenses without feeling a pinch ;D

You can pre-order at B&H now.

Today is the 3rd May 2013 and yet B&H still shows 24mm Tilt-Shift lens "Expected availability" as 2nd May 2013 ... looks like someone went to sleep at B&H
