I have been wanting the TS-E 24mm also, but the cost is a bit steap. So hopefully this has good IQ and a good price. So far all I have seen is that the official product presentation will be on September 18 at Photokina. I do not think they have anounced when it will be ready yet (I have been lookling).
I must admit--this announcement caught my eye too.

If the IQ and build is anywhere near as good as their 35mm, it will be sweet. Provided, of course, there's a good price break over the Canon. It doesn't appear to be AF, so that should ensure a much lower price.
Note: It says in the specs "Auto focus type: brak". Not sure what that means. I don't see chip in the lens, though.
None of Canons TS-E lenses have AF, but I do hope with you on the price;)Quote:

Ah, didn't know that. Those lenses are made of unobtainium, so I've never actually seen one in real life. It wouldn't make much sense for Samyang to go through all the work of producing such a lens if it wasn't going to have at least one substantial advantage over the Canon. Since IQ won't be that advantage (the Canon has killer IQ judging from the images I've seen), it's going to have to be price.Quote:

I believe the Samyang lenses are also manual aperture. None of this, the camera sets the lens wide open to meter and focus, then quickly adjusts it to your selected size in order to take a shot nonsense. That should shave off a few dollars right there. :)
It's like that for the four Rokinons I own (or have owned).Quote:

I have been looking at that new Sweet35 Lensbaby, it looks like a very creative and usable lens.
I would like Canon to update their 45mm TS-E to L specs as well.
Time will tell.
Has the price been announced?
Not to my knowledge.Quote:

Also very interested in this one. I'm going to pull the trigger on the Samyang / Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 and see how I like it. If I do I'll likely sell the 17-40 and the 24-70 and buy some more fast glass (24mm f/1.4L or 35mm f/1.4L I think).
edit: Trigger pulled.
