F-mount goodies at Photokina

Several new F-mount products were introduced at Photokina. A quick overview:

Sigma

Samyang

In addition to the 35 mm f/1.4 AS UMC lens, Samyang also announced two new lenses with F-mount: V-DSLR 8 mm F3.5 Aspherical IF MC Fish-eye CS and AE 14 mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC. The 8mm lens is what Samyang calls “Video-DSLR” which means that the lens already has follow focus teeth. Electronic interface was added to the 14mm f/2.8 lens for transferring information about focal lengths and available apertures.

Schneider-Kreuznach announced two two tilt-shift lenses with F-mount: PC-TS Super-Angulon 2.8/50 HM and PC-TS Makro-Symmar 4.0/90 HM. Press release is available on dpreview.
