Great news from Samyang

 It's always good news when independent lens makers make waves. It means  greater choice and affordability. So we welcome Samyang's bringing to the market  five new manual focus lenses, that include a revised 'AE' version of its Canon-mount 35mm F1.4 which allows electronic aperture setting from the camera body. There's also a novel Reflex 300mm F6.3 UMC CS is a mirror lens designed for APS-C SLRs, which will be available in Canon, Nikon, Sony Alpha and Four Thirds mounts.  It's nice to see the return of the once popular reflex lenses because they are so light and compact. Finally there are three cinema versions of existing photo lenses - a 10mm T3.1  for APS-C SLRs, a 12mm T2.2 for mirrorless cameras, and a 7.5mm T3.8 fisheye for Micro Four Thirds.  Go to their web site for the full data on these welcome additions. They all look nice and the prices will not break the bank.
