Samyang is one of this small companies that does an incredible good job with lenses. Most of the times their lenses have the right specs for what they need to do. They are also cheap (in terms of price) and absolute of good quality. As you know the first lens they released for the m43 system is the [shoplink 29106 ebay]Samyang/Rokinon 7.5mm fisheye lens (Click here to see it on eBay)[/shoplink]. The lens is pretty compact and Klaus from Photozone (Click here) said the lens is Highly Recommended! And Klaus is really severe in his Judgement! I am eagerly waiting to see what’s coming next from them. Samyang confirmed at Techradar that “more Micro Four Thirds lenses were planned“. There are no specs yet about the possible next lenses but I hope it will be some kind of fast prime and pancake lens. Something in the category of the [shoplink 14796]20mm f/1.7 lens[/shoplink] would be my choice :)
One more thing: Samyang is the only company the made lenses for the Four Thirds system during the last three years! The amazing [shoplink 29677 ebay]Samyang/Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens (here on eBay)[/shoplink] is an example!
