I was about to buy a Samyang 24/1.8, and a friend alerted me to a very good price on Amazon for the 50/f2 DG GN Contemporary.
It's on order, coming tomorrow (as in today here, it's past 3.00am.
But I'm nervous. I've had poor experience of Amazon packing and delivery recently

21st July came and went and... the lens got delivered!Yeah, no... It didn't turn up. Last minute Amazon Status, which had been out for delivery for ten hours: Now due by 21st July.
We were out, but able to arrange for someone to take it in for us.
I'll take some pics with it tomorrow. For now I can say that it is certainly solid. No featherweight like some, but still an acceptable "standard" lens. Reviews mention its build quality and I agree it looks pretty good. The lens hood turns smoothly and engages with a positive click.
