I've got some things to shoot next week, so I've placed the order now, but thanks for the tip anyway

Thanks for sharing Rob, I had already put it in the basket and after seeing this I'm placing the order! 10% off this month too! :)

They do an ART version for the Sony mirrorless system, but that's more than I want to spend on a lens that's not going to get used much :)

I didn't want to spend more than around £300 (used) as it's not going to get used that often to be honest. That's what made me buy this Samyang, the price was only £250, now I know why! I've seen the Viltrox at really good prices brand new, would you recommend that lens? I have the Viltrox 85mm...

It was just a cheap lens for doing some architecture shots. I used to own the Laowa 15mm Zero-D a few years back, I might go for that one again once this is finally sorted out. Thanks Alan

I didn't try that this time, but I'll keep in mind for the future. Thanks Alan

Yes, it turns out it really is bad! Return request and refund request accepted Cheers Alan

I've got the manual version too and don't have any problems with that one. I also have the 24mmm f/1.8 and that seems like a good lens too. I never expect too much from budget lenses like Samyang, but with this one, I think it's way too bad to accept! Alan

Hi, thanks for the link. It turns out that the lens is indeed decentered and I think the seller knew it as he has accepted a return for a full refund without any questions or problems (so far!) Thanks for you help. Alan

Hi, I am trying to find out if the quality of these images are what to expect for this lens or would you say there was a fault with it, like decentered or calibration problem. It just seems really bad, even stopped down to f16! Anybody who has one have these results? Thanks in advance Alan

Haha! If it's the same as I used to get there will be 100's of spots! :LOL:

I used to get this on my old 7D and after contacting Canon and getting no joy and searching the web it all boiled down to how unforgiving the thing was on underexposure. I found that if I made sure the exposure was correct or just slightly over I didn't get the white spots but if I took a shot...

When you are asked not to put any copyright restrictions on an image how else can/would you read it? Why would anybody ask you to not exercise your rights?

But it is quite clearly there, intentional or not, you don't have to go looking.

Haha, I respectfully refer you to item No.4 in the OP's list at the start of this thread ;) :exit:
