Before getting 'excited' maybe, just maybe, you want to wait for the reviews.

Unless you have actions in the company and are trying to promote it....

I'm excited simply based on experience with a Samyang 24mm f1.4 and the fine reputation of Samyang/Rokinongnongno/Bower (sorry, got carried away there.) Corner sharpness is far better than any of my wides.

I've always felt their lenses were excellent values, and in the case of the 14mm F2.8, best in class. While it has some really profound distortion, lens profiles in Photoshop, Lightroom PT Lens and DXO tame it down nicely to make it an outstanding lens. And I own a Nikkor 14-24.

I like your play on words with Ronkinon. Made me chuckle this morning.
