Samyang AF 12mm f2 RF-S
Following the trend started with Sigma and Tamron, Samyang became the third lens manufacturer to release an Auto Focus lens for Canon's APS-C sensor RF-S line of cameras. The Samyang AF 12mm f2 RF-S is not a totally new lens, it is readily being sold with Sony E and Fujifilm X mounts for $399 and $499 respectively. We don't have a price and availability information from Samyang yet but the lens already has an official product page on the company website. Sony and Fujifilm versions are sold for $399 and $499$375 respectively.
