I assume this is from the same people (Samyang, Bower, Rokinon....) making some decent lenses lately. Anyone here try one out yet?

Bohdan - I may be, and probably am, completely wrong.

How do you draw your conclusion? I guess you are right, the connection on the top are on the inside of the lip. They could be hidden in that one shot. Still, for $99 I'll pass. It just doesn't sit well with me for some reason. Chas Gordon

I don't know if they still do that. finndogphoto.com
