Carbon fiber, eh?

I can't say I've ever XEEN anything like that before.

Light can be nice, but not sure it would be as durable as metal. Might make a good second set of lenses for special purpose.

IMO, the problem for Samyang/Rokinon is that, within their price range, the camera manufacturers are enabling AF.

Didn’t they have a problem selling these for $2500 in the past, so..... double down???
