I happened to see this review of the 85mm Samyang lens from a Polish website. After reading it, not so enthusiastic about Samyang lah -- there's a reason for the low price -- overall sharpness is so-so

i'm actually quite amused by this comment abt the 85/1.4

"To sum up, it seems that the makers of the Samyang focused on producing a lens that gives a fully usable image at maximum aperture. But in order to do so, they sacrificed the high resolution at an aperture range of f/4.0-8.0, as well as taking less care of image resolution at the edge of the frame."

seems counter-intuitive... oh well, for a sub-1k lens.. wth.

Anyone knows if the Samyang 14mm for EOS

1) is with the manual aperture ring or electronic aperture control?
2) is there AF confirmation and EXIF transmitted to camera?
3) is there a rear gelatine filter mount and the dimension of it?

I assume Samyang 14/2.8 lens should be similar.
