Samyang Announces 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS Lens
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
The 10mm f2.8 isn't really that interesting for an M since its really the EF-S version with a built-in adapter with an overall length over 130mm and weight over 600g. It's like putting any other EF/EF-S lens on the M.
Now the 12mm f2.0 is strictly a CSC/mirrorless lens so it is much smaller - only 59mm and 245g. That's more the size of the other EF-M lenses. This could be an interesting addition to my M kit down the road if I'm willing to give up AF and AE for 2 stops in a wide angle lens. Haven't found myself needing this yet and I already have the 11-22.

Yep, the Tokina 11-16mm is also f/2.8 and can be had for the same price. And for that I get auto-focus, auto-aperture, existing lens profiles, and a great, proven lens. Oh, and I can use filters.BL said:
This thing is gonna have to go <$300 to sell well.

When they make that lens cine, it's gonna kill off all their 16mm f/2 sales. Cause the main users of it are video people, and a lot of them are moving to m4/3 mount.dcm said:
That said, I'll eventually own that lens for m4/3 if its optically strong.

Looks like it is intended to compete with the Zeiss Touit 12mm f2.8 lens on some mounts.

10mm 2.8 on EFS is not needed with the Tokina 11-16 in place ... But this one is interesting:
Samyang 12 f/2.0 (yes ... 2.0) for EOS-M

And it's only 260g ! This would revive my interest in my EOS-M.

You've been sleeping too long, they already have a 24mm f/3.5 tilt-shift lens, but if you are waiting for another one, then go back to sleep ;DAJ said:

Before complaining about the price, does anyone have links to sample pictures? If it can hold its own up against a Zeiss Distagon 2.8/15mm or a Canon 14mm 2.8 L II then maybe the price is justified. You cannot judge the lens without evidence.
Re: autofocus
I assume this lens is primarily intended for landscape so how essential is autofocusing going to be?
On a APS-C body with a 10mm lens:
at f/2.8 (wide open): hyperfocal distance = 1.89m (Everything from 3ft to infinity will be in focus)
at f/8 (Near DLA): hyperfocal distance = 0.67m (Everything from 1.6ft to infinity will be in focus)
at f/11 (Past DLA): hyperfocal distance = 0.49m (Everything from 8" to infinity will be in focus)
I don't understand how having AF on a lens of this design would make it significantly better. Someone please explain what I'm missing.

BH has them for pre-order in the US. Last week there was a note about Mar 25 availability, but its gone this week. Might be like the Tamron 150-600 where supply has not caught up to demand so it remains on preorder.

I'll have to be patient. I generally (but not always) wait for the price of new camera equipment to come down, and good tests to appear before I buy. Somehow I'm worried that retailers here may forego this lens all together which would be a shame.... Too many offerings from Samyang in the same arena?
Damn that lens looks tasty - and tickles my GAS 8)
