Size comparison: Samyang 35mm FE and the Zeiss 35mm FE lens
You can preorder the new Samyang lens at BHphoto, Adorama.
The new Samyang (Rokinon in USA) 35mm f/2.8 FE AF lens is 3mm shorter than the twice as expensive Zeiss lens. Above you can see the image somparison via CameraSize. Here is one more size comparison by Gippsland:
Just my two cent: Instead of doing a Zeiss clone for half the price I would have done a f/4.0 pancake lens half the size of the f/2.8 Samyang and for $199. This would have been a real headliner don’t you think?
