Will be available on the 15th for about $750. This thing looks like a total WIN.

Heck yeah.

Samyang is really THE third party brand of the decade. While none of their lenses are autofocus, you just can't deny the fact that they really know how to shake up the market with some really cool products.

Now that is worth a closer look. Wonder how long before we see it rebranded?

A T/S at that price? Damn... that might even be enough to get me into third-party territory!!!

Indeed! That price point is VERY attractive for a 24mm T/S lens....if it is good, it will be a BIG seller! It "looks" substantial, in that product photo!

The 24 mm Nikkor PC-E is not up to the standard of the 45 mm and 85 mm PC-E lenses, so it will be interesting to see how the Samyang compares.

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but could you expand on that Helen? A PC-E is next on my hit-list and I've been trying to decide between the 24 and the 45.
