Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at the Samyang 12mm lens?
Did you have some questions about this lens tonight?
it shows in stock and priced at $314
Courtney B
Yes, that's correct
why is the silver lens more expensive then the black lens?
Courtney B
In general, all of Samyang's silver lenses are more expensive
Due to the materials being used in the lens
does that make the black lens better then the silver?
Courtney B
No. The silver is slightly more durable
or really? why? and do you stock the rokinon 12mm f/2 E lens?
Courtney B
The silver uses more metal
Let me check on the Rokinon

Is this the one that you were looking for?
it shows $399 on my search....is it on sale and in stock?
Courtney B
$399 is the correct price. It's in stock and ready to ship
ok the Samyang is $319 and the rokinon is $399 what I am paying the extra $80 for?
Courtney B
The Samyang lenses are typically better lenses with better coatings
But they all come out of the same factory
I would personally go with the Samyang for the better quality and difference in price
wow....can't believe the value....paying less for better quality?! that hardly ever happens
Courtney B
That's for sure!
thanks Courtney and the silver one is available and ready to ship right?
Courtney B
Yes, that's correct
Our stock is indicating that it's ready to ship out tomorrow
