Pretty cool lens, cheapest price I've found, seems to be pretty similar to the Tamron ver
Similar price at Teds, Georges too.
Looks like the got the ebay description specifics mixed up with a nikon APS-C Lens
Every day I grow more regretful buying into canon rf
Is it that bad?
Are you selling it for cheap?
Wow, looks good for the price
Interesting lens but this is guaranteed to have terrible resale value due to the perceived value of the brand. You could probably get this lightly used for half this price
Not sure why the downvotes. Look at used Samyang lens prices vs original Sony ones for similar specs. They are bad even compared to sigma which already has poor resale prices. To be fair though there is no Sony equivalent of this lens
Reddit people have reported copy-to-copy variation issues with this lens. I would check the store return/exchange policy first.
Personally I would just look for a clean used copy of Tamron or just pay the extra premium for a new lens.
This is fair. I have two Samyang lenses and while the reviews are positive, anecdotally there seems to be quality control issues that mean some copies are poor eg decentred etc. Then again, you can have the same issue with Tamron - just saw the first comment on the YouTube clip that another guy posted below!
I love my Samyang 35 1.4 but was pretty annoyed when I had to send it to Korea for a possibly minor repair.
Oof. I assume it was outside warranty? Did you buy it from an Aussie vendor?
Brilliant lens and price. A goldilocks lens.

A long time ago I had used copies of the Minolta 35-105mm f3.5-4.5 and Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 and missed out on the Minolta 28-135mm f4-4.5 and they would each have significant flaws, especially autofocus accuracy.
This lens fixed it all on the right camera body whilst maintaining resolution, wide aperture and sharpness to match today’s sensors.
Nice find OP!
No focus breathing compensation on these third party lenses. The function is really effective and hard to let go of Sony glass.
I’ve got the Tamron version and it basically stays on my camera.
