Who ARE Samyang? They seem to make interesting lenses...I wonder if the chap that owns the company is like the one that owns Cosina...a photog buff who can fill a nice niche with some interesting products using modern mass production to keep the price close to what normal non-Leica buyers can afford...
The announcement on dpreview:

Samyang seems to have a Japan connection:

Wooowww.. my goodness!
I hope soon Samyang also makes this lens:
- much much cheaper than Canon - 17 or 18mm tilt-shift
- cheaper than Zeiss ZE - 17 or 18mm small lens for landscape when need to traveling light. The Sammy 14mm is good but I need filter ring for CPL 
- much much cheaper than Canon - 200mm f/2 ... hohoho

The last 2 lenses from Samyang (85/1.4 and 35/1.4) have been exactly what I'm looking for (fast primes, much cheaper than the name brand alternatives), and when i heard they announced the 24/1.4, i realized they must have a direct link to my brain, because they keep making the exact focal lengths i need, with the fast aperture i love.
I really hope this lens is cheaper, or the same price as the 35, but i think it's unlikely. Either way, my "realistic wish-list" now consists of a 3rd Samyang.

Yummy, that sounds very nice.
When you look at the sortiment of Samyang (8mm F3.5, 14mm F2.8, 24mm F1.4, 35mm F1.4, 85mm F1.4) also a 50mm lens with much light-power is missing 
Maybe it's the next step

They should make a 50 1.2 or similar, it would be nice to see what they're capable of.
Also, i'd love to see them making a telephoto lens or a macro. |

...except that Samyang makes their own lenses and often sells them, rebranded through other companies. In fact, while my Samyang 85/1.4 is branded Rokinon, a friend has exactly the same lens, but it is branded Vivitar. |
