Quote:Non starter for Nikon because of the AF-S 20mm F1.8 at $800 or what?.....Yeah. This one is €549 so the difference is not a magnitude (unless I'm way off with my exchange rate calculations). One has to be really cash-strapped to be trying to save on matches like this... but if you're cash-strapped, you're not dabbling into full frame cameras (just yet). I had no idea that the Sigma has been discontinued - good riddance, frankly, but it's still available as new where I live.
If only the Samyang had been an AF lens, but looks like it's impossible outside of the E mount. Though it will surely find its fans, just like (most of) the other Samyang offerings over the years. This time it's a lens that is not readily apparent in every other mount...
