Leaked photo via CanonWatch
Nokishita and CanonWatch have both gotten their hands on some leaked photos of an upcoming Samyang/Rokinon lens that is very intriguing indeed. Meet the unreleased Samyang XP 50mm F1.2 EF.
Based on the moniker, we know that it`s part of Samyang`s manual focus eXtreme Performance series of lenses-the third lens to join the party, after the XP 85mm F1.2 and XP 14mm F2.4 announced in September of 2016. And judging by the `EF` at the end of the name, this one will only be made for the Canon-EF mount as well. Here`s a closer look, courtesy of Nokishita on Twitter:
$(document).ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({`containerId`:`embeddedSampleGallery_5636830166`,`galleryId`:`5636830166`,`isEmbeddedWidget`:true,`selectedImageIndex`:0,`isMobile`:false}) });
No word on price or specifications beyond the focal length and max aperture, but Nokishita`s image leaks typically come within 24-48 hours of release, so we expect this lens to make its official debut in the next day or two.
For comparisons` sake, the XP 85mm F1.2 goes for $900, while the XP 14mm F2.4 retails for $1,000.
