    Samyang lenses are all MF isn’t it ? Although that’s not a problem with such a wide angle :)
    The 85/1.4 of the same company was of high optical level, let’s wait to have a review ;)

      you miss-spelled “high quality”, it should be “in some conditions acceptable but for price not worthy”. besides, what is 85mm with bokeh worse then 80-200

    It says IF so it’s internal focussing?? Not sure what MC stands for.
    Looks promising. Hope the price is kept low.

        It is. The 85mm also states MC in its official name, and this is its package:

          The product page for the 85mm here:

          http://www.samyang.pl/product,21,category,5,samyang_85_mm_f14_aspherical_if

          They are shockingly honest about their own products:

          “At this price, even if it does lack razor-sharpness, it will seem a very attractive offer to many photography lovers.”

          I think that summarizes the situation perfectly.

            Well, the Nikon equivalent of theis 85mm isn’t sharp wide open either. Actually the lens design of those two is pretty similar. As far as I heard, it’s quite good wide open on DX, but fairly soft in the corner of FX. But taking in to account that it runs for about a third or a quarter, I think there’s nothing to complain about.

    “highest quality imaging” – ROTFL :D :D :D
    Although they are cheap lenses, cheapest primes in it’s ranges you’ve ever seen, they are far from anything you would call “highest”….

      If this lens is half as good as the 85 f/1.4, i expect it to kick the Canon EF 14m f/2.8 L:s pricey little butt.
