On the contrary I think we will see Samyang lenses with autofocus within 5 years. And then some Chinese autofocus lenses...

There are Chinese autofocus lenses already: Yongnuo 35mm f/2, 50mm f/1.8 and 100mm f/2. Only in Canon EF and Nikon F mounts though.

There are also recently shipping Samyang AF lenses for FE/E mount, like 50/1.4 or 14/2.8

As from Paris salon de la photo, the lens is on display in Nikon mount, quite nice feeling and somehow smaller than its 15/2.4 brother.
The availability is foreseen in january 2017, for Canon, Nikon and hopefully Pentax.

This last one 45/1.4 is presented as a mock-up under glass in Paris.
Really HUGE a lens, like if 4 to 5 FA 43mm Limited were put together... and manual focus not so easy to use in such a range... definitely a No-Go for lots of people...

Let's hope they will add the AF

I tried the 11mm prototype on photokina and that was looking ok (but a lot bulkier than the faster Laowa 12mm F2.8)

Zygonyx · 11-12-2016, 05:54 AM

Good for f/4 exposure

That is a *very* good price for an UWA prime. Hopefully it actually does turn out to be a competitive product.

Zygonyx · 12-14-2016, 02:03 PM

Looking forward to check in detail differences with Laowa 12/2.8 D-free

**Tas** · 12-28-2016, 01:17 PM

The latest rumour on the Irix 11mm suggests this lens will be going wild next month. Not much detail in the article, but it's here for your perusal: Irix 11mm f/4 lens to start shipping in January 2017 | Photo Rumors

I'm interested in this one for it's weather sealing and price, but will be waiting until we see some reviews before jumping in.
