Let's then clarify this AF issue. If I put Samyang on my D700, will the body be able to assist me in focus? I wanted to use this lens particulary for the "focus trap" possibility. If it's not possible, then it's a huge problem.[/quote]
Do you mean focus confirmation? If so, you are out of luck.

Quote:I thought on my body it will have camera controlled aperture including focus trap capability - which is quite useful with the lack of AF.

To quote from that review:
Quote:This lens is Manual Focus only, and will work in Manual exposure mode only on the following DSLRs: D40/D40x, D50, D60, D70/D70s, D80 or D90. With the D200, D300, D700, D3/D3x you also have the use of Aperture-priority mode. The good news is, if you can deal with focusing and metering manually (and they’re good things to learn anyway), for a couple of hundred you’ll bag yourself a cracking lens that in many ways outperforms the the £800 Nikon 1.4.
