Hi Fellow Photozoners,



Samyang caused quite a stir with some of their lenses. (By the way, I would love to see a 24mm tilt/shift lens from Samyang.) But I wonder can we expect more brands like Samyang or are there already brands in the same league? I came across Arax for example, but don't know much about it yet.

There will be a 35mm 1.9 DX announcing in the near future by a Chinese manufacture. it has the look of those range finder type lens.

See the pic of its alpha model here: http://img3.fengniao.com/forum/attachpic...967187.jpg

and here: http://img3.fengniao.com/forum/attachpic...967165.jpg

The selling points are: 3 ED lens, 12blade aperture, and a price at about US$100.00



Also some sample shots (down sampled)here: http://img3.fengniao.com/forum/attachpic...940730.jpg

The background blur seems pretty creamy.



Sorry i dont know what brand will they sell it under. Posibly Mitakon.
