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...
@Ze_Cahue 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:)
@Xenocide38 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.
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.
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.
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 :-)
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.
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!
