No sign of price, but I would imagine at least cheaper than the 24 TS-E mk1, and therfore substantially cheaper than the TS-E 24 mk2.
Lets hope to lives up the precedent of Samyangs recent sterling efforts.
Metering issues aside (TTL can get screwed up a bit by the shift, sometimes requires increasing compensation with increasing shift) this particular Samyang isn't that far behind the banded offerings, which are also MF only...

If it's sharp enough, i'd actually even prefer this over the 24LII.
Why?
Auto Aperture may be good for action, focussing wide open and only stopping down for the shot.
But for macro, and even more for T/S, give me manual aperture every day (until of course, Canon can make a DOF-Preview-Lock feature, although they probably can't, seeing as it's electronic and holding the aperture narrow might burn out a motor or something).
So even if it's over $1k (still less than half the 24LII), and if it's 'almost' as sharp, i'd be going this one...

This is great news, I've always wanted a TS-E but could never justify spending the money for such a specialty lens, but if this is priced anything like Samyang's other offerings I may have to pick one up. Any word on price? I'd assume less than $1k for sure.

Can't find if others have posted this already, but the release of the 24TS has apparently been pushed back to March 2013

This is a lens that I'm also very interested in. It seems a very natural field for Samyang to compete in with their manual focus only philosophy. I have a lot of experience with manual lenses as I like to play with old M42 lenses at times. I've never found a great M42 wide angle though, and the truth of the matter is that I'm often less than thrilled with my 17-40L in the corners. If this lens was sharp corner to corner it could be a great lens for landscape and architecture.
