Good news! PR confirms that Samyang will announce a 12mm f/2 lens for mirrorless cameras in the next weeks. The company just officially released the 10mm f2.8 lens here.
This could be the Fuji-X product lineup of Samyang:
Samyang 12mm f/2
Samyang 10mm f/2.8
Samyang 8mm: [shopcountry 12946]
Samyang 300mm mirror lens: [shopcountry 14844]
Samyang 16mm f/2.0: [shopcountry 15934]
Samyang 24mm f/3.5 Tilt Shift: [shopcountry 15963]
Will there still be a Samyang 12mm f/2.0 lens for Fuji X-mount as rumored by Photorumors here? Well, fact is that in the meantime Samyang added a new lens for Fuji-X at their website here: the Samyang 10mm f/2.8! Now let’s hope that also the rumored 12mm f/2.0 will become true.
Here is the Fuji-X product lineup of Samyang until now:
Samyang 10mm f/2.8
Samyang 8mm: [shopcountry 12946]
Samyang 300mm mirror lens: [shopcountry 14844]
Samyang 16mm f/2.0: [shopcountry 15934]

I’ve read with interest all your comments about the leaked X-A1 image here. Some say it’s a fake, other believe it’s true. Now, here is the whole story:
In the mid of August Keitaro (General Manager for Middle East of Fujifilm Electronic Image Decision) visited South Africa. On the 14 of August he had a meeting with Marc Sweeney. In this occasion the Fuji manager showed him the X-A1. Marc took an image of the X-A1 and shared it on his google+ profile here… and this is the image I shared with you here.
That’s all. I got the image, I got the story and I shared it with you. As the image was taken back on August 14 it’s possible that the X-A1 shown here is a dummy and not the final version.
cheers

What you see on the picture is the soon to be announced Fuji X-A1 camera. It will be the new entry level X-mount camera. Unlike the [shoplink 13828]X-M1[/shoplink], it won’t have an X-Trans sensor (and also not the X100 sensor), will come in a lot of colours and will be sold by big retailers on the web and big general stores.
The camera should be announced very soon. Stay tuned!
If you plan to switch to the X but you missed the crazy X-deals in June then maybe you could soon have another chance to switch cheap to the Fuji X-system.
According to an anonymous source Fuji will launch a new deal starting August 25: you could save up to $300 on lenses when purchased with X-Pro1 or X-E1.
Stay tuned on Fujirumors that day and let’s see if the rumor is correct. As soon as the deals go live I’ll notify you also via facebook and twitter.
Remember that you can use the rumor box to share absolutely anonymously rumors. If you want you can give yourself a fake name so that I can recognize you in future.
have a great week
Patrick
