*** UPDATE ***
Ok, first to answer Adams question of "misleading yada dada da"...
There are two (2)
Samyangs:
Samyang 1: The Manufacturer (Korea)
Samyang 2: The Distributor (Europe Based I Believe)
As we all know, Samyang the manufacturer manufacturers the following branded lenses:
Samyang, Vivitar, Bower, Rokinon, And Other Varients
Outside of North America, the label that is available at the retail stores is Samyang labeled, all distributed by the Samyang Distributor which is europe based - in North America, we have Vivitar, Rokinon, Bower, Opteka, etc..
----------------------------------
Ok, now to the Update:
Samyang (The Distributor) sent me this:
My Brief Email To Them Quote: Hi,
When will the 24mm 1.4 (Pentax KA Mount) be available for purchase in the
U.S.? There seems to be a lot of positive buzz and excitement about this
lens - can you provide an approximate date of when this will be available?
Thanks,
~ Joe Penn
The Reply Back Quote: Hello Joe,
our company is a distributor in Europe, and we will have new 24mm in about 2 weeks. I'm not sure how it will look in US.

This means that they will have it in 2 weeks, the retail outlets should have it no later than a week after that which means we should start seeing images made with this lens in about 2.5~3.5 weeks and possibly some reviews. Going by memory with the 35mm, the Rokinon labeled one was available for purchase here in the states about a month after the Samyang version was released outside of North America, so this means we SHOULD see this thing mid March...
Can't Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
