Price (S$): 500
Description:
I believe no one else has sold a Samyang 85mm F1.4 lens here before. This lens is pretty popular in US and Europe due to its sharpness and affordability, but its not well known in SG because there isnt any local dealer for it, thus u cannot buy this lens here, can only get it from overseas. Doubt anyone will wanna sell off this lens when they buy it from overseas.
About the lens.
The Samyang 85mm f1.4 is a Manual Focus full frame lens. This is the cheapest 85mm f1.4 u can get for the Sony Alpha. But dont be mistaken that cheap = lousy. Samyang lens are known to be very sharp and this lens is very very good indeed. I bought the Sony/Minolta Alpha mounting version, thus there's no need for any adaptors, it will fit properly into our Sony and Minolta DSLRs.
Point to note when using a Manual Focus Lens on Sony/Minolta DSLRs:
For the A200-A550 DSLR: Manual Focus lens can be used on Manual mode ONLY.
For Minolta 5D, 7D, Sony A100, A700, A850 and A900, manual focus lenses can be used via Manual mode as well as Aperture Priority mode.
Lens is very new. Used only ONCE, when i bought it out to take some portrait shots of my gf. Havent got any chance to use it since, thus I decided to sell it away.
Comes with the box, hood, front and rear caps and lens poach (unused). Lens condition is totally mint.
This is a great portrait lens. If you dont wanna spend 2.5k on a Sony 85mm f1.4, this is your best alternative.
I only have one copy of the lens, so its a first come first serve.
Anyone interested pls sms 8 1 0 0 0 7 2 0.
