new Samyang Premium lenses - Klaus - 09-12-2016
85mm f/1.2

14mm f/2.4

Manual focus
The 14mm has some extreme MTFs there ...

The 85f1.2 should be sweet if the pricing is right
Did they introduce aperture coupling?

As the 85/1.2 is only of Canon (which is relief to me, honestly - manual focusing with such a thing...) I really wonder how a comparison with Nikkor 14-24, the Zeiss 15/2.8, Irix lens and this Samyang would be like. Samyang is stealing pretty blunt Zeiss' design wit a sidelook to the Milvus-series.

As for aperture they have it on Nikon and other mounts just not on Canon, guess that they haven't yet dipped their toes into an electronic aperture, but....

Actually I thought it looks similar to the Irixlens.
I was also wondering about a manual focus 85mm f/1.2 on a DSLR but then I think that the f/1.4 aren already not usable really and they still sell.

With all the soft curves, I'll stick with a "Zeiss-copy" in design.

The 85mm f1.2 could have used a bit more room for the back element still. The optical design is not totally unlike the ancient Canon, even with 1 asphere. The Canon has such a big back element that the contact block covers part of it.
