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.
