<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'm still waiting on their 12mm Fisheye

 

[Orangutan]

753mm? ;D

 

[BozillaNZ]

753mm? ;D

No, it must be the 999mm they kept talking about! :-X

 

[DJL329]

Who knows, maybe they're on the 5:15.

 

[Mitch.Conner]

Odd as in odd/even, or odd as in, "Like, omg that number is so odd... seriously, I'm weirded out by it..."

?

They need to be more specific with what they mean.

I'm still waiting on their 12mm Fisheye

I received one of the fish-eye lenses yesterday. I should have something to say about it in a day or two.

 

[slclick]

It's the extra wide wet dream 1-35

 

[rporterfield]

It's a 351 magnum lens.

 

[dgatwood]

357. And yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking.

It's a .357 foot focal length.

Great. Congrats. I have been waiting for some kind of a review for that lens. Awaiting your feedback of the lens

 

[KeithBreazeal]

I have the 14mm and it kicks butt for shooting the night sky. One big chunk of glass. They have proved their ability to make decent low cost lenses. Waiting....

 

[JumboShrimp]

Back in the late 1960s, both Vivitar and Soligor each offered a mammoth 135mm f/1.5 pre-set beast. Not the sharpest of lenses, but certainly impressive enough. I hope Samyang offers something equally exotic with decent full-aperture sharpness.

Unless it has IS, how is this a tease to Canon users? Maybe if it is as good with AF for $400, otherwise suck it up and get the 135L.

 

[Snodge]

105mm macro?

 

[tpatana]

Interesting. Very interesting.

 

[pianoplayer88key]

Isn't it a 35mm F/1 lens?

Or maybe a 75mm F/3?

Those are each 3 odd numbers

 

[e17paul]

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.

 

[LetTheRightLensIn]

999mm

 

[Antono Refa]

Nope, it's going to be an 11mm f/.7
