New Samyang wide-angle Nano Coating System debuts on 10mm f/2.8

Samyang has unveiled a new version of its 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS lens, the result of a development programme aimed at achieving the highest possible optical performance while reducing the size. It’s the first Samyang lens to feature a new Nano Coating System – this coating reduces reflections more effectively than the old UMC system, and benefits include better light transmission and higher contrast. The optical design includes two aspherical elements and one of extra- low dispersion glass to minimise aberrations. The new design also includes an embedded lens hood for a more compact size and a reduction in weight for the Canon version. The new 10mm lens will be available from the end of January 2014 at a price of £470 for the Nikon version and £430 for other fittings.
