     Yes, a VERY expensive lunch.  The second-hand prices indicate that this is 
a well-regarded lens, much more so than you would typically see for manual 
prime lenses of this FL and price range.

     Having two Samyang zoom lenses (28-200 and 100-500) and experiencing the 
sharpness first-hand, I'm surprised that the brand is not in the forefront of 
the affordable MF market.
