    samyangrf14 728x462 - Samyang to release an AF 14mm f/2.8 for the RF mount

    It looks like Samyang is getting ready to announce an AF 14mm f/2.8 lens for Canon's RF mount.

    The sooner third party manufacturers get lenses out for the RF mount, the better things will be for EOS R shooters and for the manufacturers themselves.

    1. This is great to see. I honestly can't wait to see a flood of more affordable 3rd party options for the EOS R with creative focal ranges or unique offerings. Seeing something like the Tamron compact F2.8 trinity come to EOS R would be brilliant.
    4. So what is that spacer looking gizmo in the last picture? Is it an EF adapter?

      It's a "Samyang Lens Station", similar to the Sigma dock it allows to update the firmware or calibrate the AF.
    5. The Samyang 12/2.0 for Fuji X is nice!! This would be a great addition. I love this focal length too!!

      It's nice to finally be able to make some positive posts on some of these rumor sites. I like where the Canon system is going!!
    10. I wonder if its an EF lens with a revised mount for the RF bodies. Basically, a built-in adapter. The spacing between the rearmost lens element and the sensor will tell the story.
    13. Is this the same lens that was announced? This was a review from August. He must have had a preview copy, as I was under the impression this lens was already out...
      *Edit: Nevermind, it's clearly different.

      To answer my own question, I looked at the diagrams of both the EF and RF 14/2.8 autofocus lenses. It is a new design.

      RF first, then EF (keep in mind the flange distance is much greater for the EF than the RF mount...):RF_AF_14_28.jpg

      Wow, interesting new design. I have the EF version and like it a lot. I'll look forward to comparisons and pricing.

      It looks to be an RF-mount adjusted version of the Samyang 14mm F/2.8 FE lens.


      Sharp in the center, not that sharp in the corners (perfectly sharp for cropped 4k video though).
