Which would you prefer and why?
(I you happent to want to ease up on your LBA hit me a offer in PM. *lol*)
I have the super tak 85/1.9 and the samyang 85/1.4
I would have to say, overall, I think the samyang lens is a great deal at 329 new. The coatings are much better than the tak, which is 40 years older
I do like the tak for the build, and I got it at a great price but the greatest downfall of legacy lenses is coatings. It is much more prone to flare and internal reflections especially with bright lights in insight shots.
