I wished Samyang would release AF 12mm f/2.0. Sorry about the end of their support for EOS M and RF as well.
“… end of their support for EOS M …” ??? Was there some announcement about this?
My renewed interest in Rokinon/Samyang comes from my wanting another/better UWA lens, and the Rokinon 10mm f2.8 popped up, along with the Venus Laowa 9mm f2.8. Haven’t seen a lot of buzz about either. Leaning slightly towards the Venus at the moment because the Rokinon is gigantic and can’t use filters.
But the Rokinon 12mm - for half the price - might be the winner (for me). Still cogitating on this.
The 10mm is basically a DSLR lens, hence its size. As a general rule I would rather adapt DSLR lenses than buy them in any mirrorless mount. The 12mm is a very nice lens with very slight, easily corrected barrel distortion and quite a following in astro circles - I don't miss the AF at all with that lens. Mind you, I generally use the Canon 11-22mm for the increased flexibility of its zoom. The 21mm f/1.4 is a really good lens with excellent geometry, as is the EF-M mount 50mm f/1.2, but they both suffer as general purpose lenses from their lack of AF. The 8mm f/2.8 is a gem, very sharp and its stereographic projection doesn't scream "fisheye lens".
Thanks much. Another nudge towards the 12mm for me.
I have - and like - the 8mm. I am careful with it, and sometimes use it as my UWA after de-fishing it.

Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
