Just some info. Wow!! Genuine "optic glass" (as opposed to coke
bottle bottoms?)

The example moon shot they show with it is pathetic. No doubt linked
as much to seeing changes during the inordinantly long exposure needed
with an f16 focal length as much as the horrible optics.

A better choice would be the 500mm they offer since it has ED glass at
least:

The enclosure is made of metal, so it should produce excellent images.

Given that it has been translated from Korean and is displayed on a
Polish web site, I would expect a few mistakes here and there.

Still, I'm very happy with my Samyang 85mm f/1.4. I broke the plastic
bayonet mount lens hood after only a few uses so replaced it with a
nice metal hood. I thought you would be pleased. ;-)

Don't be snarky. Rich has no particular reason to know the difference berween
aperture and focal length. Neither of them is made of plastic.
