My Peleng is a bit of a DUD

Thanks for replying Renato. I didn't see the issues you mention linked with the Samyang (which does not use an adapter and covers the full APS sensor), so I guess it should be fine in this regard.
I pretty much decided to buy it, I'm just waiting for the end of month to have the 30 day return window (of B&H) coincide with my visit to the US in the end of January. I want to make sure that if I get a bad copy I can return it without any hassle.

Hi,
Further to my earlier post, I dug out the Peleng, attached it to my A900 for the first time, and all I got were very soft images. I don't think it hits the focal plane correctly. I've ordered a couple of T Mount- A Mount adapters to replace the T Mount-M42- A Mount adapter on the Peleng and see if they improve things. If not I'll have to try get the original adapter machined down by a millimeter.
I guess the question for you is whether you buy the old Samyang with the fixed hood, or the new one with the removable hood - which would only be useful if you got a full frame camera one day.
Cheers,
Renato
