Samyang FE 50mm f1.4

[Bloodbuzz]

Hi,

Anyone have this in hand already? Shops are selling it but not much review on it.

Comparing this and the zeiss 50 f1.4, leaning more to the samyang as the price and size of it.

Appreciate any reviews of it. Thanks

Local shops? What's the pricing like?

Just an update. Just got the lens and took a couple of test in the store. AF is quick to me. Noticeable purple fringing at f1.4. Very sharp images. Will play around more with the lens later on

Congrats! Thanks for the info. Pricing looks decent.

Noticed it's already up for sale. It's certainly isn't a light lens, 585g vs the zeiss 50 1.4 at 778g

it's very sharp. great colors. af works well for such a fast aperture lens. love the ultra shallow dof. I opted for this instead of Sony f1.8 version. might as well get fastest af native lens. pay a bit more.

is the AF good in S-AF only or C-AF also?
