The is a good deal but I had to ordered from B&H instead of my favorite Amazon because of $17.66 of sales tax. I sure hate that Amazon made a deal with the state of Texas. The little man falls again.

I thought about the new one... but it would cost more and the "better optics" is still really an unknown at this point (just a claim). The "old" one has great reviews.

South Korea is my understanding. Samyang is the primary source for all such lenses (Rokinon, ProOptic, Vivitar et al), they're based in South Korea.
