I was support you on the time,. For me only can processing the cash and take long time for dry it.
 

830 tk ..... , 860 cat... , 999 ms ..... Got mine at cat since i made a reservation last month .. f1.8 will help a lot for indoor flash less photography, unless u need better bokeh and 24mm wideness, this len is bang for buck .. imho ..
 

I called TK and they quote me 920 sgd. :( Cathay Photo 880 sgd no stock

Veri Fast focusing, but cheaply built, feel veri plastic like dx 35 f1.8 ..

Go down and ask.. over the phone they might not give you the right price..

This lens is really good!! Here is a sample of my mac keyboard.. taken at f1.8 in RAW and only straight convert to jpg in LR4 no processing at all.

But LR4 already have its profile.. so correcting it is easy

BTW these are just casual test.. not a definite control test but casual snaps in available lighting... just FYI and in no way these images represent the final performance of the lens!

I love vignetting .. Dun worry, can be slightly corrected on lr. So far i compare it against my 24mm f1.4, i do feel its really worth the price, especially 24mm cost almost 3k. See if i can post some sample tonight for comparision ..

D800 (D800 too short so need to type more)

When you have mention on shots with d800.

But this is not performance as well.

Yup.. can be corrected.. but it is really bad IMHO. But the price is sweet, just like the 85mm f1.8... good lens.. at very attractive price.
 

I think nowadays the new lenses launched by the manufacturers all quite impressive, that includes main brand and 3rd party :)

Busy these few days, will go down Funan take a walk after that. Hope I can secure 1.
