Hi Sorry if i sound like a newbie, any review on the Samyang lens? I saw it on one of the forum links, and just want to find out if anyone here has used it before and the quality of the shot?
WOW thank you very much. I think i will go check it out since you guys have good things to say about Samyang. Ya saw a few lens that i am keen in but just wary of the brand as it is quite new. Pricing wise is definitely more affordable to Nikkor lens.
You should weigh the benefits, it's not just about price or sharpness.
Some people I know don't like the Samyangs because they don't like manual focus. Cheers.

I <3 them with Focus Peaking.
Hi Rashkae
sorry for asking. what is focus peaking? do explain.
Thanks!
Focus peaking i a feature on the Sony NEX and SLT cameras where, when you use manual focus, whatever is in focus will be highlighted in red.
Samyang is generally good to outstanding, all full manual focus and no electronic coupling.
8mm Fish Eye is really good. You dont need AF in this focal length.
Also if you stop down to F8, you dont even need to focus. Just take note of the minimum focus distance.
85mm F1.4 is basically the patent expired Nikon 85mm F1.4D lens elements design. Minus the electronics, AF. but Samyang added in better lens elements.
Actually Samyang lenses now come with electronic coupling for AE compatibility... especially for Nikon mount cameras
That's a even better news.
