Killer deal. The previous low that i found(personally) was 610 on black friday direct from samyang(no tax, free ship)

As far as the lens itself, it competes with the sony 135 g master. Not as fast to focus, but just as if not sharper. Bokeh is a bit better imo too over the GM. At this price its a no brainer, just make sure you know the working distance of a 135mm prime. Its pretty much replaced me using the 85mm focal length provided theres enough space.

If you do get it, with samyang lenses you pretty much have to have a lens station to update it, and in this lens case, a lens station to change what the switches/buttons on the lens control. So add another 40$ to this total.

Get this lens from Samyang's own website. You should see a 10% coupon to make it a $515, and no sales tax.

Great deal if you use this FL. I have their 85/1.4, which is very good as well, so I am skipping this.

Do you have the coupon code? I see a 5% code OFF5 at the top of the site but no pop-up or anything for a 10%.

I think this user is talking about a code OFF10.

Seen other posts about it but it's not working for me.

OFF5 is working for me and no tax. One reviewer on Amazon says they got a gray market one. So buying from Sanmyang's US website is better I think

I'm thinking the same thing, direct from the manufacturer for the same or less than Amazon.
