Hello,
My 12mm SLRmagic lens was in my luggage that never made it back from europe (F U air canada)
I was very happy with the lens except for the stiff focus ring and consider replacing it with the new version or is there another comparable 12mm lens I should consider?
I'm thinking Rokinon or maybe the new Olympus 12mm digital ED anyone have any input on these?
thnks
 
I've been very happy with the Olympus 12mm. Nice sharp picture, small lens, good autofocus when you want it.
I've had mixed luck with the Samyang/Rokinon lenses - my 35mm is great, the first 85mm was full of flairs (second one is fine) and the 16mm is really soft when opened up.
 
While the Olympic 12mm is certainly a lovely lens with great functionality, it's IQ is quite different from the SLR Magic 12mm. Really depends on the look you're going for.

And not to rub it in (seriously bummed about your loss), I would never pack that sort of thing in checked baggage. Other than tripods and stuff, lenses, cameras, all travel with me carry on.
