Amazon is running a sale on Rokinon/Samyang Lenses for Sony Full Frame E-Mount Cameras. These can also be used on Sony APS-C cameras as well.

Available lenses:The three F1.4 lenses are fast primes and are good for strong bokeh/subject separation. I have the 35/50/85mm, and I'd definitely pick the 85mm out of all of them if I had to choose one (and its the cheapest right now!). I paid like $500+ for mine, so $350 is a steal.

The 35mm has a real close focus distance which can make for some interesting shots.

The 50mm is an older design so the focusing is a little on the slow slide, but still the best value fast 50 lens.

Samyang 85 is for $377 with code BF20 on its site https://samyangus.com/products/85...PnEALw_wcB
Wow, those are some great prices on a few of the lenses. I don't need any right now, but if you want a portrait lens, the 85 1.4 punches way above a $350 price tag.

Newbie question here: are Rokinon and Samyang lenses manufactured by the same company? I've been comparing their 35mm F1.8 product pages on Amazon, and they have EXACTLY the same product photos.

Any reason to choose Samyang over Rokinon? Or vice versa?

135mm AF has great reviews... About 1/3 of the price of the GM (which I have and love). It's well worth it, I think.

In for 1. I have a 24-70GM and a 14mm Rokinon, this is the focal length I've been missing

Both are made by Samyang. Rokinon licenses the lenses from Samyang.

I found the answer. Samyang and Rokinon lenses are exactly the same. Samyang is the Korean parent company known as Samyang Optical and it has been in the Lens industry since 1973.

Due to expansion and branding in Europe Samyang came up with the Rokinon lens brand. This is similar to the LG and Hisense products. However, the Rokinon lens will likely be found in North and South America.

Quote from Amazonian_Hotdog :
Which camera are you using? The Samyang 85mm listed here has really bad focusing issues. I'm using an a7 III and have nothing but isdues. It may work for a few shots or even 10 then it can't focus on anything the save its life. It will just wig out and go in and out of focus. Got the "dock" to update the firmware but no change. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? My Sony and Sigma lenses have no issues.

That is one of the reasons I went with the Sony 85mm 1.8 for a comparable price. 1.4 is nice, but not when it comes at the cost of autofocus performance. My Sony 85 1.8 has amazing AF performance and is really sharp, and for most practical purposes F1.8 is good enough. Having said that, I just ordered a Tamron 70-180 2.8, so I am thinking of sacrificing my 85 1.8 to recover some cash.
