Samyang 24mm f/2.8 FE will be announced tomorrow. Still no launch date for the Zeiss 40mm f/2.0.

One of our trusted sources sent us this high res picture of the new Samyang 24mm f/2.8 FE autofocus lens. And Samyang confirmed the lens will be announced tomorrow!

And I am now trying to learn when Zeiss will announce the new Batis 40mm f/2.0 CF FE lens. If you have some info please contact me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com or use the anonymous contact form on top of the right sidebar. What we know so far about this lens:

Distagon optical design
The shortest shooting distance is 0.24 m
With focus limiter (Full / ∞ ~ 0.4 m / 0.5 m to 0.24 m)
Filter diameter is 67 mm
Batis Size close to 85mm (40mm is slightly smaller)

I guess the CF stands for “Close Focus”.

Batis 85mm FE lens at BHphoto, Amazon and Adorama.
Batis 25mm FE lens at BHphoto, Amazon and Adorama.

Short personal note: Offline for eight hours. Samyang 24mm f/2.8 FE lens might be announced today!

Share

Just a short note: I am offline for eight-ten hours as I am hiking on the Dolomites (I may post pictures on my IG channel here).  But it’s possible that Samyang will announce the new 24mm f/2.8 FE lens today. This is why Patrick from Fujirumors will post the Samyang news once it’s official. I kindly ask you to threat him with NO respect and give your best ever trolling comments :)

P.S:
– To all people sending me RX100VI test links. Be patient, I will post them in 10 hours ok?
– some comments awaiting moderation will get approved in 10 hours
– Again, please have a trolling fun with Patrick :)
