First the Samyang 8mm fisheye was marketed as the Vivitar Series 1 7mm...

Now, the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 is marketed as the Vivitar Series 1 13mm. I don't mind the dropping 1mm off the label... (seems very Spinal Tap 11-y to me.) especially since I LOVE the barrel designs of the Vivitar Series 1's... but I wanna see the 800 Mirror renamed 799mm!

And can't wait for the 34mm f/1.4 when it finally shows up. :)

Is it like Tube TV sets last decade when they started saying size is 26" (25" USA)?

LOL...
