Because this is a pro-optic branded version of the lens, and the resale value is therefore going to be less (not by too much). It simply is a fact--the Rokinon, Bower, and Samyang versions of all of...

All of this is besides the point. The f3.5 is CLEARANCE STOCK of outdated merchandise that was recently replaced with a brighter, better f2.8 lens. So as usual, people are jumping on a "SlickDeal"...

So far, I haven't seen any...

No idea why people are ignoring this and Rokinon gets all the love. Maybe people have deal alerts set up for Rokinon? Anyway, it's the exact same lens. TU just because nobody is paying attention.
