Yes, a VERY expensive lunch. The second-hand prices indicate that this is
a well-regarded lens, much more so than you would typically see for manual
prime lenses of this FL and price range.
Having two Samyang zoom lenses (28-200 and 100-500) and experiencing the
sharpness first-hand, I'm surprised that the brand is not in the forefront of
the affordable MF market.
