Samyang 24mm tilt and shift

[Aglet]

The rumor's been around seems like about a year or more now.

Hopefully there's some substance to it at Photokina

a bit more on it here:

It'd sure be nice if they manage to hit close to the IQ level of Canon's v2 at half the price

Definately something I'm keeping a close eye on, looking at the pic it seems as if independant rotation of the tilt and shift might be possible as with the recent Canon's.

I asked digitec.ch, and got the following answer....

Die Verfügbarkeit des Samyang Objektives ist noch in Abklärung. Eine Aufnahme in unser Sortiment wird zurzeit geprüft und gegebenenfalls in absehbarer Zeit erfolgen.

So... they might add it to their shop as soon as it is available (hopefully)

So far, just a prototype at Photokina. I'd sure wait for expert reviews of this one.

A Samyang-authorised dealer in the UK is taking pre-orders at £999, though they stress that that the price has not yet been confirmed. Anyway, £999, if it proves to be right, equates to 59% of the Canon's UK street price. This would translate to $1,300, based on 59% of the TS-E's US street price of $2,200.

They announced the development a long time ago, so I'm hoping that its release is imminent. I'm also very curious about its pricing and quality vs the Canon. At $2k+, I haven't rushed out to buy the Canon lens. But if the Samyang is comparable at half the price, it might be next on my list.

As many, I've been waiting to see reviews. UKdigital is taking pre-orders at 1000 pounds.

Along the way, I found the following from ARSAT. Read somewhere that this is a Ukrainian product. Does anyone know anything about it?

Exciting! Now if it's IQ is close to the Canon and it's priced around $1K or less, and we have a winner on our hands. If it's $600, it'd be really, really hard to resist buying it on the spot.

recent rumor price from russian site implies a price of a bit over $1000 on intro.
if if really performs, I'll be all over it even at intro price.

Around $1K is great if it performs, I'll just have to hold off a bit on buying it. Priorities you know Why can't I just have enough money to buy every darn lens that I want? It's only going to be a few 10's of thousands of dollars. Come on, it isn't that much? Just one good lotto ticket would do.
