The optical design of the mirror and mirrorless versions of the lenses 14 / 2.8 and 85 / 1.4 are significantly different. Some Samyang lenses may be sold under another brand - Rokinon.
There is also an interesting premium manual lens line XP for full-frame cameras:
- Xp 10 / 3.5 [Canon EF, Nikon F]
- XP 35 / 1.2 [Canon EF]
- XP 50 / 1.2 [Canon EF]
- XP 14 / 2.4 [Canon EF, Nikon F]
- XP 85 / 1.2 [Canon EF]
The number of ordinary manual lenses from Samyang / Rokinon can no longer be counted. In addition, there are a huge number of movie lenses Samyang / Rokinon line Cine and Proffesional Cine (XEEN series).

Previously, I only dreamed of this, I looked at Tokinu 14-20 / 2, now I will look at this one. But I also shoot on Tokinu 11-16 of the first generation
What's the use of looking at him? And what do you want from switching to manual 12/2 versus the existing 12 / 2.8 autofocus? I understand when there is a universal 12-24 / 4, but there is not enough aperture on the often used short edge, but I see no reason to take similar lenses.
Haha, this Samyang is autofocus like many others. There are no analogues
Ah, this is Sonevsky. Then all the more is not necessary.
