Samyang/Rokinon Cine lenses coming [ready for pre-order]

If you’ve been shopping affordable manual prime lenses for your HDSLR then you’ve probably stumbled upon or even own the famous Samyang / Rokinon lenses like the $500 35mm f/1.4 or the $400 14mm ultra-wide.

[UPDATE]: cinema5D member Gumzster informed me that the 8mm fisheye already exists as a cine version.

[UPDATE 2]: The Samyang 35mm T1.5 Cine lenses is now available for pre-order $549:

“Rokinon 35mm T1.5 cine lens will be available in U.S in few weeks and Rokinon 24mm T1.5 & 14mm T3.1 cine lens will be available in U.S in September.”
