This lens is very well-reviewed and came out a little over a year ago. It's promoted as a lens for astrophotography and landscapes. Samyang is having their Black Friday sale right now which is 20% off (compared to $399 at B&H and Adorama).

Includes:
Samyang 24mm F1.8 Full Frame Lens for Sony E Mount
Removable Lens Hood
Front Lens Cover
Rear Lens Cap

Discount code was automatically applied for me but just in case here it is: BF20

You have 2.8 in the title, not 1.8. I ended up ordering a Samyang 50mm 1.4 v2 for $464 shipped earlier, and I think that's by far the cheapest it's been. The 35mm 1.4 v1 is $359. The 135mm 1.8 and 24-70 are also good prices. 24-70 is $607 and the 135 1.8 is $719.

Also lazy/sloppy: the OP doesn't even mention the necessary code for this discount.

24mm worth picking up if I have a 35mm? I'm looking for something to take on vacation with me (Thailand this Dec.). I'm thinking a 24mm might be better suited for the location.

If you are okay with 2 lenses, I think the 18mm makes a nice companion lens and is very small. I don't know if I would want a 24 and a 35. I'm actually wanting the new Tamron 20-40 as my wide to normal view lens, to not have to worrry about changing lenses as often.

If this is just for a trip, look at renting through lensrentals. I love trying out new lenses for trips. They sell insurance too, so it's one less thing to worry about.

That's my bad, but if you actually try to purchase an item, the code is automatically applied which is why I didn't bother to include the discount code.

I think the 24mm would be way more appropriate for your trip. When using my 24-105mm zoom I find that I'm most often at 24mm when shooting on vacation. Plus, you can always go into APSC mode to get a tighter shot if needed.

Incorrect; only if you click through the eventually banner when/if you find it.
