I run the older non AE Samyang unit on a Nikon full frame camera and other than spending a long time to find the accurate infinity focus point for Milky Way images and marking it, the lens itself is a remarkable lens for wide field photography of the night sky

The earlier non AE units did have issues with infinity focus, my first new one was promptly returned and replaced as it would not reach infinity focus but the second unit I got is perfect as long as I totally disregard the markings.


I do believe this issue has long been addressed with the newer AE models for both Nikon and Canon versions.
As for value for money, at the time it couldn't be beat when considering I paid $300-$400 for the lens new and an equivalent Nikon lens was $2500 or more.


They are STUNNING images Rodney!
