So I's go for this Samyang in a heartbeat (if I was so silly to have a Sony A7 something;-) ). The last Nikon 50mm f1.8 has not been produced since 1985 ;-)
I don't know if I'm confused BC ...... but what 50mm Nikkor are you talking about there? ....
...... the AF-S 50mm F1.8G was first launched in 2011 to replace the AF-D version ....
..... I bought a copy ....... it's nothing super special but then at 129 euros ........
........ a third of the Samyang's listed price.
You were talking about a Nikon, not a Nikkor ;-)
Last Nikon 50mm f1.8 was made in 1985. http://cannonfastreviews.com/nikon-50mm-f1-8-series-e/
And about the Nikkor AF-S 50mm f1.8, its manufacturer's list price is €249 :-P Cheaper than that new Samyang, but I would not recommend a Nikkor DSLR 50mm prime to a Sony user.
