Samyang caused quite a stir with some of their lenses. (By the way, I would love to see a 24mm tilt/shift lens from Samyang.) But I wonder can we expect more brands like Samyang or are there already brands in the same league? I came across Arax for example, but don't know much about it yet.[/quote]
I've long wondered if the (astronomical) telescope manufacturers might dabble in photographic lenses. I know it is easy enough to adapt existing scopes for use with cameras, but I think they have the ability to do some more interesting modern takes on the compact mirror lens with today's technology.
