Samyang 24mm T/S
http://photorumors.com/wp-content/up...hift-lens.jpeg
This has my attention, no price (but it will probably be pretty cheap). At a fraction of the price, one of these on a 24mp D600 (yes - I know - it's "vapourware" as well) might easily make a Nikkor 24mm PC/E on a D3x seem so... yesterday. (both could also be abhorrent POS, but I doubt it) Samyang can make some pretty decent optics: http://tinyurl.com/samyang24TS |

Now it's more than a rumour and leaked photo: http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/09...ilt-shift-lens "Tilt-Shift function in Samyang T-S 24mm 1:3.5 ED AS UMC allows for smooth and individual adjustment of the focus plane angle by +/-8.5 and enables parallel shift of the optical axis by +/-12 millimeters. To make Tilt-Shift function even more seamless, both the lens mount as well as Tilt-Shift section may be rotated on the optical axis. The Tilt-Shift section may be rotated left by 90 degrees (with 30 degree adjustment), while mount of the lens may be rotated both in left and right direction by 90 degrees, also with 30 degree adjustment. Samyang T-S 24mm 1:3.5 ED AS UMC will be available with mounts for Canon EF, Nikon F, Pentax K and Sony A. We welcome everyone to visit us at Photokina at our booth A025 in the hall 2.1." It is a 35mm format lens. No price yet. If it's okay, and the price is affordable, I expect this could be a great success - there are probably a lot of photographers like me who'd always wanted a T/S lens, but the entry point price was high for something which may get occasional use. |

Definitely something I would rent to play with. A project that I never got around to was to rent a horseman and learn more about view/technical camera shooting. The above lens can give me a lot of that experience without the hassle of film or carrying around a technical/view camera. Samyang also make a very affordable 85mm (MF) lens available for a lot of mounts at a reasonable price. A few people (various blogs/camera web groups) report satisfaction - that is to say I haven't seen many major complaints. -- "C'mon boys, you're not laying pipe!". -John Keating. |

But it's not the craziest: the Canon 70-200/2.8 IS II is 23 elements in 19 groups and everyone loves it. The Zeiss Planar design (1896 or so; 6 elements in 4 groups) was unusable because It had too many surfaces, so the Tessar was the go to normal lens until the 1950s. Lens coatings really do work. But Samyang seems to be doing just fine on optical quality, and price. The only downside of the Samyang lenses appears to be the fully manual aperture. This is a major pain in the butt; I have several good lenses that do good work on adapters and simply never get used because it slows one down so much. If you can't allocate the money for the 24TSE II, you put up with the manual aperture. -- David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

Time (and reviewers) will tell. Samyang say: "Each optical component of the product was covered with multi-layered, anti-reflective UMC coatings, which provide great light transmission factor, high contrasts and render only natural colors of the photographed scene." But I suppose that's what they would say... The Samyang 14mm is supposed to be excellent for flare performance, so for an f2.8 lens at that demanding focal length, their coatings must be pretty decent on that lens anyway. OTOH, several Samyang lenses have slightly higher distortion than equivalent focal length/speed lenses from Nikon/Canon. Distortion for the TS lens needs to be very low - I don't expect correction of (eg) barrel distortion in PP would be very easy. |
