Samyang announces plenty of new lenses for mirrorless systems!

Samyang today announced plenty of new lenses! Here are all of them with links to BHphoto preorders (Just click on the blue linked text):

8mm f/2.8 UMC Fish-Eye II

The 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fish-Eye II lens is the second generation of this popular lens for mirrorless cameras. It offers a 12mm focal length equivalency (12.8mm for Canon M) in the 35mm format with an 180° angle of view and a minimum focus distance of 1'. Two aspherical elements and three ED elements minimize aberrations and create clear, high contrast and color-accurate images. A built-in petal-shaped lens hood helps to deflect stray light and protects the front element. The lens's mirrorless mounts include Canon EF-M mount, Fujifilm X mount, Samsung NX mount, and Sony E mount.

10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS

The 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS lens distinguishes itself from the other new releases because it is presented for mirrorless and DSLR (APS-C) mounts. Considered a high-performance wide-angle lens with a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture and rectilinear image format, it is suggested not just for landscapes and tight interiors but also for sports and photojournalistic applications. Its 35mm focal length equivalence is 15mm on APS-C format cameras, 16mm on Canon APS-C cameras, and 20mm on Micro Four Thirds cameras. Its minimum focus distance is 9.4" and with one Extra-low Dispersion and two aspherical elements, aberrations are controlled. A nano-crystal anti-reflection coating system (NCS) is applied evenly on the inner surface of one lens element to improve light transmission and reduce the reflections that cause ghosting and flare. The Nikon F mount version of this lens provides automatic exposure capability in A/S/M and P modes. Additionally, the lens is available in Canon EF, Pentax K, Sony A, Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds mounts.

12mm f/2.0 NCS CS

Made just for mirrorless mounts is the new 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS lens. It is available in Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, Sony E and Micro Four Thirds mounts. Its 35mm focal length equivalency for MFT cameras is 24mm, for Canon M cameras it is 19.2mm, and for the other three mounts, 18mm. With an f/2.0 maximum aperture, it is particularly effective in low-light capture and can control shallow depth of field for precise subject focus with pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds. It offers a minimum focus distance of 7.9". The lens’s impressive optical construction consists of three Extra-low Dispersion elements, one aspherical, and one hybrid aspherical element. The nano-crystal coating is applied to the inner surface of the two front-most lens elements to minimize ghosting and flare and improve overall image clarity. Unlike the above two lenses, the 12mm accepts front filters and provides a 67mm diameter thread.

8mm T3.1 Cine UMC Fish-Eye II Cine Lens

The new manual focus 8mm T3.1 Cine UMC Fish-Eye II lens is available for mirrorless Canon EF-M, Fujfilm X, Samsung NX, and Sony E mounts. As a lens designed for shooting HD video, it offers features that differentiate it from “photo lenses,” which, of course, can also serve to shoot HDSLR video. However, a Cine-dedicated lens, like the 8mm T3.1, has a clickless aperture ring, which is not only silent but enables smooth transitions between stops and the ability to shoot between those stops. Furthermore, it relates aperture in T-stops, which stands for Transmission-stops and denotes a more accurate measurement of the light entering through the lens, and provides a more consistent measurement from lens to lens. Additionally, a Cine lens features geared aperture and focus rings to enable the use of focus pull apparatus such as a follow focus system.

New 24mm and 35mm mounts:

In addition to these three new lenses, Rokinon has created new mounts for existing manual focus lenses. The 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC lens has added a Sony E-mount and Micro Four Thirds mount. With its f/1.4 maximum aperture, it is a very fast lens, ideal for low light and for freezing action as well as for shallow depth-of-field control. Its 35mm focal length equivalency is 36mm for the Sony E-mount and 48mm for the Micro Four Thirds, which bumps it closer to standard focal length than wide angle. Either way, its minimum focus distance is 9.8" and its optical design features two aspherical elements and a multi-layer lens coating. Also adding a new Sony E-mount and a Micro Four Thirds mount is the 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC lens. It, too, has a fast maximum aperture and an optical construction with hybrid aspherical elements and multi-layer lens coating. Its minimum focus distance is 12" and the lens includes a removable petal-type lens hood. The 35mm focal length equivalency on the Sony E mount lens is 52.5mm and on the MFT mount, it's 70mm.
