Samyang has announced a manual-focus fish-eye lens designed for the Sony NEX-VG10 interchangeable-lens camcorder. The new lens comes with a native Sony E bayonet mount and promises easy and smooth - perhaps stepless, but it’s unclear from the wording of the product announcement - diaphragm control. The Samyang 8mm f/3.5 Fish-Eye CS VG10 lens will be on display at the Focus On Imaging show in Birmingham. Pricing and availability to be announced.

Samyang 8mm f/3.5 FISH-EYE CS VG10 for Sony NEX-VG10 digital camcorder

Samyang Optics wishes to inform about the release of the manual Samyang 8mm f/3.5 FISH-EYE CS VG10 lens. The new lens comes with the bayonet mount and has been designed especially for Sony NEX-VG10 digital camcorder.

Due to its unique construction, the bayonet mount has been adjusted to ensure possibly wide field of vision without producing the vignetting effect. Just like in other lenses manufactured for filming purposes, aperture can be easily and smoothly adjusted.

New Samyang 8mm f/3.5 FISH-EYE CS VG10 lens will be officially introduced during the forthcoming Focus on Imaging fairs held in Birmingham. Exact date of the release as well as the product’s retail price will be given later.

We are also about to introduce Samyang lens with Sony E mount for NEX system cameras.
