<p>Rokinon/Samyang appears to be teasing a new lens on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RokinonLenses/photos/a.177689185610341.38264.177519142294012/827637633948823/?type=1&theater" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>. 135mm seems to be the most logical choice, though there’s no word on the speed of the lens.</p>
<p>We’re still waiting to see them launch an autofocus lens.</p>

I enjoy my manual focus OM Zuiko 135/2.8 on both my OM-10 and via adapter on my 6D. Manual focus at 135/2.8 is a fun challenge that requires skill, not a practical tool when compared to modern AF lenses. I respect the pro portrait photographers of the film era who used such lenses as a tool.

If it is half the price of Canon's 135/2L it will be an expensive toy for most. A good vintage lens and adapter may be a better option. Mine cost less than £100 and I had the adapter already.
