Re: E mount lenses for the EA50
 

Hey Don,

I hope all of you have the best time of your life. I am a bit jealous. If I remember right you shove off tomorrow and come back at the end of the month. Thirty crew members of family and friends...that sounds so cool...have fun and be safe!

Steve

There is a very small chance you may have been on one of my shoots. Around four or five years ago I directed a half dozen shoots in Chicago. A few of them were at the airport Hilton to make it easy for the talent they flew in (doctors). All of my crews came from the union pool. The crews and the gear was booked through Carol Wood. I forget which company she was with at the time. She has since moved on. Her name ring any bells?

They are all Samyang lenses. It's a Korean company.
It's quite common that asian manufacturers sell licenses to use their product under different names.
In the USA they're sold and marketed under the Rokinon brand. In Germany under the Walimex Pro brand.

In the music business it's very common, you find the same chinese made microphones (and other things) under a multitude of brand names.

Just ordered the Walimex Pro 35mm/T1.5! (from Foto Walser Spezialversand)
Reason I ordered the Walimex was that I just didn't find another seller in the EU. By ordering from another country in the EU (I'm currently in Sweden) I don't have to pay the VAT so it was €403 including shipping.

That explains it :) Mine came from a Polish supplier.
