Hey. I was looking into buying a Rokinon 35mm T1.5 lens for my Canon T3i. I live in the great white north so prices are a little stiff. I have figured I can get one for 530 if I wait six weeks (I shoot a short in 2 weeks) and get on in the States or I can buy a Nikon version of the lens and get an adaptor for about the same price, but I would have it for my short film. Will the adaptor change anything (I dont think it will.) and is there a better lens for the price?

I dont have anything particular to offer, except that the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 sells on amazon for $429.99. If I picked up correctly that youre going to be in the states, then that's 100 bucks cheaper and it ships prime, so it can be there in 2 days. Plus not that I know, but won't amazon US ship to Canada? I think a friend does that all the time, because she finds that Amazon US has a bigger selection.

Im sure you'll have considered that already, since it's so simple, but I just had to state the obvious I guess. =)

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I have looked into it, but since our dollar is sh*t it still balances out to 530ish :/
If you don't want to wait, you can get the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 for Canon mount for CDN$571.88 + $18.31 for shipping (at today's exchange rates) from Beach Camera in the States via eBay Canada (no additional import charges at deilvery).
Hope that's helpful and good luck!

Thanks Bill! I think I'll wait and order out while I'm in the states. That will save me 80 bucks.
