Samyang Optics has announced a delay in production of its new 14mm f/2.8 IF ED MC Aspherical lens. According to the company, the delay is due to partial redesigning of the lens construction and further improvements. The lens will now be available in the first quarter of 2010.

> you get what you pay for.
On one hand this is a tautology, since you wouldn’t pay for something that you didn’t get.
On the other hand, the idea that all items are of equal value is absurd.
But this hasn’t stopped people from posting “you get what you pay for” millions of times on Internet forums. I wonder how much disk space this has consumed since 1970.
Haha. Funny. But yes CanonMonster I would agree that the Samyang probably will probably not be able to provide the same IQ as the 14L.
I understand that when you pay more the quality is better. Most of my lenses are L but it’d still be interesting to see. My buddy actually uses a 50-500 Sigma if I remember correct…Sigma either way. And his work has been in National Geographic, so I think Samyang might have a good shot even if its not quite up to par with Canon’s L.
Correction…I should say usually, or most of the time when you pay more the quality is better. Not always a guarantee :D.
Ah. I see. Thanks for the info! I wonder if it being a prime will at least give it a decent IQ. Honestly I didn’t even know about Samyang until recently haha.
In better news:
I’m still waiting for the Canon EF 14-600mm f/1.2 L hybrid IS. It might be a little heavy at 3/4 of a pound but its gonna make a great all purpose lens. Rumor has it that they’re working on making it the size of a 24-105mm L.

Oh I don’t know; if Canon replaces in-lens IS with an anti-grav unit it should be fine. ;-)
