Btw. do you life in San Francisco? If yes, you do have the perfect place for fantastic shots
Done, man
I wish I lived in San Francisco. I just went for holidays to New York, San Francisco and Los Ángeles. I live in Hong Kong, that has a few spots for nice pictures as well, but too many people everywhere, and the light is horrible.
p.4 #4 · Samyang 85mm 1.4 FE - Current owners still happy with the lens?
Your opinions, please. I have been testing decentering on my new Sammy 85 1.4 mounted on A7RIII. The copy has resulted really laterally decentered... but what seems as bad as it for me is that, comparing at 100%, the center of the Sammy at f/2.8 is a little worst than the best corner obtained (same part of the scene) with a Zony 55 (that looks good and reasonably centered) closed only to f/4.0. What do you guys think?

If laterally decentered, wouldn’t the edges be most affected? The Samyang 85 is one of the sharpest lenses I have so would really expect that it should be razor sharp at center, not just okay compared to the corner of another lens if I am reading that right. I know the 55 is also up there in sharpness but if decentering is a problem couldn’t you just return it? Or if not possible, perhaps could you request warranty repair depending upon how bad it is?
If you would like further evaluation, perhaps could you post a comparative image example.
Sorry, to be more clear since it is such a pain doing it from Google:
1. Remove all of the periods I had inserted before posting (looks like you left them in). I only put these in so that it actually shows up in the post for you to see. If I remove the periods, it becomes a BBCode command and disappears, ideally showing whatever image you have provided the static link for.
2. Make sure you are posting a static link. In Google Photos for example, it is a little arduous to find this link. You have to select your image to share from your Google Photos account. Click on the share icon, and then 'create link.' Copy that link. Open a private tab in your browser. Paste that link. Then it will open a Google photos page with that image on it. Click on the image, which will open it full screen in the browser. Right click on that image and copy the link. That is your static link.
For me, it provides the same image linked as in my previous posts. Couldn't you see the images in new tabs from my previous posts?
Your previous posted links direct to a google 404 image not found error for me. The most recent link here you posted works but is not the static image. It is a link to the google photos viewer for that image. If that makes sense. The actual static images from google start with something like “ https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/” followed by a long string of letters specific for that image.
Sorry if my instructions were not clear. Most people just post from Flickr in any case. There is a stickied thread about it.
Maybe you want to share them with us there as well?
