Was looking at this lens for a long time and waiting for a good deal then I realised today Sony had it for $549 when JB and a lot of the retailer have them at over $700

cheaper on Sony ebay by $50
Great lens.
Good lens and deal, especially sharpness wide open and build for the price (the sharpness reaches close to the stellar but much more expensive Batis version) but would you want it over this …
$599.50 Samyang 85mm f/1.4 MK2 Auto Focus - Sony FE Full Frame - https://www.digidirect.com.au/samyang-85mm-f-1-4-mk2-auto-fo…
I have both, though the Samyang's first gen model, and find the Sony's Bokeh to be pronounced in an average way. The Samyang first gen is better in every way except it has a slightly warm colour cast (not sure if made neutral in the later version, it does not bother my type of shooting) and it is my go to after an adapted Canon 85mm.
I just bought one for $650 (that's with $50 cashback on EOFY), DAMN.
Was cheaper a few days ago when Shopback had 20% cashback bringing it down to $440.
