Samyang new 10mm - Xastoul - 09-14-2012

If the optic is good enough and the price reasonably low, this couls be the next thiung going in front of my camera!
Samyang new 10mm - netrex - 09-14-2012
If this holds the quality we're used to from Samyang, it will be a killer. I'll definitely be interested in this. And it's f/2.8. Aurora lens for sure!

I always told them to develop something like this ...

Apparently you were not alone:
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/928.htm
However, I think the usefulness of this lens (the coming Samyang, not the speculated Nikon of course <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />) over Tokina 11-16 seems debatable to me. No AF, no filters and no zoom, however limited.

To be precise - I suggested a 10mm f/4 pancake.

maybe the pancake will come for the mirror-less cameras (EOS-M, m43, Samsung), less retrodesign required.

Zoom range is larger than the Tokina and manages to equal the Samyang at the wide end. Price is a bit lower than the Tokina, mainly due to slightly slower maximum aperture. Only catch - it's a Sigma. There's always the risk of it not working on your next body. This is not usually an issue with Tokina (and Tamron for that matter). Not sure why.

Still not possible, I am quite sure... 10mm is really quite a lot shorter than for instance 16mm... So a lot more refraction needed. And a lot of CA to correct...
If the lens is (much) better corrected than the 14mm Samyang, this is a very interesting prime.

well, Pentax has a pancake 21mm lens for a regular mount (45mm), so perhaps a decently small 10mm is possible with about 20mm flange distance. Ok, the IQ at borders of the Pentax 21mm is not great, and 10mm is a rather wide angle.

And Voigtlander has the 20mm f3.5 pancake too.
