Update: A while back, a prototype of this lens was shown under the Samyang brand. Thanks to Geren on Facebook for the find.
Today we received an interesting email stating that Rokinon/Samyang could be coming out with a 10mm f2.8 lens designed for APS-C cameras. That means all DSLRs are covered as well as mirrorless cameras amongst Micro Four Thirds, Samsung NX, Sony E mount, and Fujifilm X mount. The email stated that this is what the lens may look like and that it will have an f2.8 aperture (with the minimum being f16), and may even have something like 9 aperture blades for super creamy bokeh. No word on the types of coatings, or whether the lens will be available in a cine version either.
We weren’t given very many other details, but if the lens is real then we can probably expect an announcement around CES since it’s coming up soon. Otherwise, it’s a damned good Photoshop job.
