    Thanks, You saved me some time. I was looking at rainbowimaging for Canon mounts and now I need to take a look at different alternatives.

    @HillTop1

    more like 48mm ;-)

    This lens on the micro 4/3 is gonna be 50mm right?

    I am using a Fotasy, Nikon(G)-M4/3, adapter from rainbowimaging, but I don't like it since I am using Samyang and other maual A.I. lenses (infinity focus way before infinity stop also kinda woble). It was okay when I use Nikon G lens though. I ordered another adapter, Fotodiox, NIK - M4/3 for my samyang. Hopely that one is okay...

    @sioppa

    What adapter are you using ?

    I just recieved Samyang (rokinon) 35mm 1.4, best lens I ever have. 100% I love it!!! Now I need to save money for 24mm 1.4.

    I haven't used the Nokton 40mm so I wouldn't be able to judge. From the looks of it though, it is quite a bit smaller than the Samyang 35mm and I would guess also lighter. I have other fast lenses (some older Nikkors etc) but they all get too soft wide open. The thing I love about the Samyang is that it is perfectly reasonable to use wide open without any obvious effects on the overall image quality.

    Check out some reviews on the Voigtlander and see if they say the same thing. From what I've read though, it's a bit soft wide open.

    I think Nokton something different, it looks like the classic Leica drawing.I also like this lens. But to video work probably samyang will be more convenient, they have a version of free rotation of the diaphragm. Although, I could be wrong, it would be nice if someone made ​​a comparison:)

    I saw impressive samples of the Samyang 35mm 1.4, but does it outperform the Voigtlander Nokton 40mm 1.4? The nokton is about $50 cheaper on ebay.

    Fully agree :-)
    Only one thing is not good in it - it breathes alot.
    So, be careful if use FF alot.

    Samyang 35mm 1.4 is my favorite lens. Everything about it is amazing for the price. Best lens investment I've made and hopefully the 24mm will be the same. If you don't own the 35, do yourself a favor and buy it.

    Hmmm. Samyang is a Korean company.

    Opteka is another brand that rebadges Samyang lenses.
  • stefanosstefanos
    u fucking kidding me? Lol , now I have to save up again after getting 35mm (it breathes quite heavily, but so does 20mm 1.7) Samyang please stop making great, all manual FF lenses, at sexy prices! Seriously though, good FF all manual glass are a very good investment.

    Also Vivitar sells this lenses.
    May be some other brand is used.
  • stoneystoney
    Samyang = Rokinon = Bower?
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev
    They produce very good lenses.
    I found no flaws in 14mm, 35mm and 85mm I have.
    All designed for a purpose.
    I also like that you could get them much cheaper under Rokinon or Bower brands :-)
  • OedipaxOedipax
    Love Samyang. I already own the 85 and the 14 and have been eyeing the 35 for a while. Nice to see they're continuing to release new lenses that will hopefully go up against the best from Nikon, Canon, etc.
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev
    So, we aleady have 8mm, 14mm, 35mm, 85mm.
    Now 24mm is coming.
    7.5mm fisheye for m43 also.

    I really want to see 14mm F2 m43 version so it could accept filters.
    18mm F2 and 50mm F1.4.
    May be 100mm F1.4 also :-)

    This Samyang 24mm f1.4 looks very much like the Samyang/Rokinon 35mm f1.4. The 35mm in Nikon mount works beautifully with the TrusMT Follow Focus. (Note the focus ring on Nikon mount turns the opposite direction than Four Thirds.) Can't wait to pick up the 24mm lens as well!
