Sony's photo lenses are cheaper across the board since they allow 3rd-party mfrs to produce (AF ofc) lenses for the system.
But w cinema glass I haven't found much, if any, similar discrepancies in pricing. The mirrorless mounts are usually priced equally, the PL a cpl hundred more ofc… if I'm not mistaken isn't this just a particularly large discount on the Sony?

Mind sharing the Amazon link?
The ef mounts and DSLR mount versions are more sought after (for manual focus) because they can be adapted to all mirrorless systems, which you understand. The E mount version is locked into E mount so they're probably sitting on shelves, this the lower price. Makes plenty of sense to me.

i think most would suggest getting to know technique before spending a lot on lenses, as it's not going to matter nearly as much until you know enough to know what lens characteristics you're looking for, and are able to properly work with them. "budget" full frame cine primes are around $1000-1500 these days, at that price point there are a growing number of options.
I don't know of many alternatives at this price, however. and these are supposed to have an image almost exactly like their XEEN line, which is a perfectly fine line of cine lenses... for this price I'm almost tempted, but i have too many at this focal length already. if you're getting into video this is a great deal

Just a tiny clarification: samyang/rokinon is from South Korea.

I'm furthermore annoyed by their refusal to show the actual product pictures of what they're selling. They always only show the EF mount version. The product actually being discussed here does not have the aperture ring right next to the lens fitting -- it's after the long "dumb" adapter.
