If I had a pentax 100mm ff I'd do a comparison for you but I don't. I don't really see how this lens would improve on the results from a Pentax 100 FF.. Though Im not an owner of either.. So maybe ill receive some guidance..
I've yet to try it at f2 but I can say that at f2.8 for me it's sharper than my siggy 105mm macro.
Haven't seen any fringing either. Despite some high contrast areas.
Plus there's an extra 35mm over a 100mm.
As I said, i have not sharpened the shots above, and i usually sharpen everything
I can't give you a detailed analysis of it as yesterday was my first try with it. But maybe someone else can.

Must give it a whirl at that too and post some comparisons

Tried out the samyang 135mm f2 today in the garden,
Thought I had shot these wide open, but they are at f2.8, no sharpening at all and minimal pp
This is phenomenally sharp.
Will post some wide open when I get a chance to shoot again,

Love these.
3, 4 and 5 for me.
Great tones at blue hour. And you can see the colour temp change after it's passed.
Great shooting.

Cheers guys. Much appreciated,
Nigel you may well be right again.
Have you looked at 1.00 on the red spider mite shot. Just at the edge of the petal.

I went out a couple of times today to see what was stirring in the garden, here are a few that made the cut for me.
I just couldnt get an angle on this, had to guess where the focus was, she was laying eggs on a nettle in the garden against the wall

so so close, but no cigar

After half an hour of trying to keep track and follow different mites, I managed to get one facing forward, but no angle other than from above, I will keep trying, did get an added peeping Tom in this too
