Except if you add canon mount it rises to 525 euros.

Anyone here know if there's any difference between that and this:

?

For some reason, this reply came empty from the german server.

After your last experience buying your new camera, I would be wary of what
those Spanish site tell you.

To be fair, it wasn't a Spanish site. It was British in Gibraltar.

To start with those are over priced for Samyang lenses. The Canon mount
Samyang 14mm UW f/2.8 IF UD UMC is available at B&H for $279. The Foto24 site
is showing the correct lens at $51 more than it should be.

Samyang also have a much more expensive, slightly faster XP 14mm f/2.4, still
manual-focus for $999.

The Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 FE is not a Canon mount. It is an auto-focus lens
for the Sony E-mount and that sells at B&H for $699.

It looks as though that Spanish Amazon site is trying to screw you by showing
a picture of the correct lens, but with the wrong model number. My Spanish is
nonexistant, so I am not sure what they are claiming.

There are no Canon mount Samyang auto-focus lenses, so if you see the AF
prefix it will not fit your camera. All the Canon mount Samyang lenses are
all manual.

I'll keep investigating.

The Yongnuo lens shown on the link seems to be for the EOS mount but its
AF-MF switch works in the opposite direction to Canon lenses. On Canon
lenses you slide the switch towards the body for MF but on this Yongnuo lens
you slide it to the body for AF. Seems a bit of an oversight by Yongnuo.

Rog.

Can be found on fleabay for USD 700 now. I'd be more interested in a
Irix 14/2.8 Blackstone for that kinda of dough though!
