Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC Lens (AUS - Worldwide)

Preview listing - photos will follow shortly.

Super fast 35mm with an amazing reputation - being compared very favourably to the equivalent Nikon and Zeiss lenses - see here and here - both of which are 3-5 times the cost of this lens new . Rates very highly on the seminal DxO mark site - with a rating that equals the Nikon 35/1.4 and exceeds the Zeiss 35/1.4.

Please note this is a manual focus lens, but has CPU contacts that communicate with the body - i.e., Ai-P equivalent, providing full metering, EXIF data, etc. on most Nikon F-mount cameras. Since the EOS version from Samyang does not have CPU contacts, this is also the preferred version for Canon EOS cameras. This version, with use of the appropriate lens mount adapter, is better augmented providing wider functionality with Canon EOS system cameras. NB: this F-EOS adapter is not included in this sale.

Bottom line, this is a gem of a lens that can be had for a percentage of the cost new ($579 from DigitalRev) - even though it is in Like New condition (only used a couple of times).

Asking $375 (net) but keen on a quick pre-Xmas sale so happy to hear reasonable offers.

Prefer a local sale in Australia but contact me if you require an international postage quote.
