Rokinon, five new E-mount cine lenses

[jeep1]

These seem to be shipping in the US, but no news of Samyang versions being available soon in the UK. I hope the 85mm 1.5 version proves to be as good as previous Samyang offerings. This would answer my quest for a native e-mount lens (and I'm not worried about it being manual or being designed for cine) of slightly longer focal length to join my NEX 7 and 5n kit which consists of 8mm Samyang fisheye, 16mm Sony + UWA adapter (available as cheap as chips 'split from kit', the 16mm is fine at f8 and with the UWA only the extreme corners get soft, but still perfectly usable), 19mm Sigma, 30mm Sigma, 50mm Sony and my one and only e-mount zoom, the new 16-50mm pancake zoom, which I find performs well and is a keeper, great on those days when you want to be out with just one discrete lens.

The Cine lenses are quite big and heavy, and have a stop-less iris that control the aperture. I'm not sure this are really appropriated for still photography.
I'm not specially interested on this lenses (I would like to see a 85 to 100 mm AF Macro...) but I'm curious about them, so I'll probably go tomorrow to the store and try to see how this Rokinon really looks like.

Yes make that times 2 on the 85 - 100mm NEX AF macro. The Samyang/Rokinon NEX mount cine lenses don't look as large as standard non cine DSLR versions, looking at the 85mm in particular. Would be interested in feed back if you get a hands on chance.

35mm f1.5; 24mm f1.5 and 85mm f1.5

The card is the reference for size.
the fisheye is as big as the 85mm -they just add (nicely) the flange space necessary for the regular fisheye to work on NEX.
Lenses are well built, nice quality overall. But cinema lenses are big for any non camcorder NEX body.
I asked and they found natural that, now that Adorama is carrying all Rokinon products, they will have the Tilt/Shift 24mm f3.5 soon.

Yes, it is a lens I'll consider to buy (that's one of the reason I'm selling equipment I don't need...)
