Just about to buy this on ebay. It will be interesting to see what the price will be. You can get the declicked version on ebay for $528. I have declicked my rokinon 85mm, but I would rather buy it that way. Im in Canada though, too bad it doesn’t list the shipping price to Canada.

Thanks for the tip! Just grabbed it for $375 ($124 off).

So the deal ended up being $375. Had to grab it at that price since I was thinking about getting this lens earlier this week but couldn’t justify it at $500.

$124 off. I went for it, and shipped to a UPS store in the states just across the border!

Noooo, I just noticed that it was set to Olympus by default and not Canon. Had to cancel and the deal is over!

Scratch that, deal is still on but only available from the Lightning Deals page. I assumed they updated the product page prices. Re-ordered!

Thanks for the notice! Picked one up for my AF100, excited to see how it performs. I also couldn’t help but get the yellow Nanuk 925 case. The color got the best of me.

@Colt McCormack – I grabbed one too. With a basic adapter the Canon version can be fit to GH2, Sony NEX, etc. A great lens for all around video use.

I have been wanting to pick this lens up for a while now. This deal was the kick in the ass I needed. Thanks for the info!

Woo hoo! I got mine.
Thanks Emm.

Thanks for the heads up. Was just what a friend of mind was looking for.
January 20th, 2012 at 12:51 pm
Didn’t really need it because I have the sigma 30mm 1.4 but at that price had to jump on it!

Pretty pissed off I was out on a shoot and missed this deal. If anyone changes their mind and want to sell, let me know. #wontholdbreath

Had to finally pull the trigger on this as well. I was hoping to get the Canon or Nikon version but by the time I decided only the Sony was available. Works great for my FS100 but I can’t find an adapter that will make it work with my 60D. Anyone have ideas?

This lens is a “unit-focusing lens, meaning: the image gets bigger as focused more closely.” (from Ken Rockwell’s review of this lens). Just a good thing to know about this lens if you are thinking about using it for Video.
