Quote:Dave, how much would you bet you got a perfect copy of that fisheye? I bet it has issues a camera sensor can't see! =)It's enough of a gamble in itself just buying a lens without laying out bets on top, Ladbrooks are very wise keeping their nose out of the lens industry!
Seriously, I've measured 12 copies of the 14mm, 10 of the 24, 10 of the 35, 10 of the 50, and 10 of the 85 and I have not once seen a samyang without some problems.
As it happens I bought t from England from a store destocking Pentax for £150 . I dare say it you delved into it you could surely find some glitch or another, but as maybe you've gathered I don't settle for decentered lenses and it that department I can't complain. It isn't a sharp lens to the edges till F8-11, but overall it's a goodie. Also the Pentax mount conserves the automatisms from the body, no AF of course.
