VDSLR vs "Pro" lenses

Tre, The E mount lens is even a better deal, I think. :thumbup:

It weighs ~200g more than the camera itself but it is a (relatively) fast ultrawide!

Agreed and it solves the UWA "issue" for those wanting something super wide for a decent price. I still have my M-Mount lenses (21-90mm - various speeds) and they should all work well enough for what I mostly do (street, candid, event, and portraits.)

There was a really good deal going on for Black Friday/ Cyber Monday as well where they were offering the 24/1.5, 35/1.5, and 85/1.5 for $1200 (I believe) at B&H. Not the best lenses by any measure but all very usable and provide decent performance for those that want native lenses with some speed. If I was starting from scratch I would've picked them up myself. It's not everyday you can get half decent set of fast lenses for under $1600.

I have used a Kinoptik 9.8 f/1.8 on Epson RD-1s. Compared to that, the Samyang is a featherweight! :)

Correction to my previous post... The deal (24mm,35mm, and 85mm/1.5) is still going on at B&H until 10 December 2013 but the three lens kit is $1300 and not $1200.
