Rokinon, Samyang and Bower have been releasing some exciting new lenses the last few months! They have recently announced the Rokinon 8mm Fisheye f/3.5 for only $229, the $379 Bower 35mm f/1.4 and the Samyang 16mm f/2. While these are all manual focus lenses, optically they're not bad for the money you're putting out. Also, Olympus has just announced a 75mm f/1.8 lens for their Micro 4/3 mount. Check out all of the links for these deals below!

The 8mm fisheye has been out for years! The 16mm F/2 is really interesting though, could be an amazing cheap alternative for landscape photography, the amount of stars you'd get at F/2 and also being able to use ND filters on an ultra wide is a big win
The 35mm f/1.4 is the real deal here.
I was thinking of getting one by myself. I shoot 50mm f1.4 mostly on film. Had one of these lenses on digital, but unfortunately it fell out of my camera bag and broke. 35mm f1.4 could be a good replacement, especially combined with split-focusing screen for DSLR.
