Two months ago Samyang asked on their Facebook page "Which new Samyang lenses, you like to see in Samyang family" and then commented about a fast 135mm or a tilt-shift lens:

samyang 135mm and tilt shift lens Samyang inquired about a fast 135mm and tilt shift lensesI personally would be interested in a cheap tilt-shift lens solution - there is no need for autofocus and if Samyang can come up with an acceptable IQ, this could be an interesting alternative to the $2000 tilt-shift lenses from Nikon and will probably be available for other mounts as well.

Thanks to lightingrumours.com for sending this tip.

    Samyang is soo lovable. I’d really be interested in both a 135mm speeder and a tilt-shift — tilt-shift especially!!

    135/1.8 (manufacturers already have f2 versions) and a tilt-shift lens with 24mm, or wider focal would be sooooo nice!!

      Just a heads-up: Sony/Zeiss manufactures an f/1.8 135mm lens.

        Yes, it does. I knew that. But I think that the most of the buyers are from Nikon or Canon camp… and they only have f2-versions.

        And its always easier to focus with brighter lens.

          Unless the DOF becomes so thin that the slightest focus error is impossible to prevent.

          Do people really think there’s a meaningful DOF difference between f/ 1.8 and f/ 2? Because there isn’t.

    Who makes tilt shift lenses with AF anyway?

    Also there are other companies that make cheap tilt-shift lenses. Look up Arax tilt shift lenses…

      I thought Arax Tilt-shifts can only tilt or shift not both at the same time? I want a affordable lens that can do both
