I'm assuming that the Rokinon and Samyang versions are the exact same lens and it's just a branding difference. Or is there something I'm missing? Any reason why Samyang is $20 more expensive?

Also, has anyone compared it to the Sigma 105mm 1.4 Art lens? I have that lens and love it as it's super sharp and has great bokeh. Wondering how this Samyang/Rokinon 135mm compares.

The Rokinon version is $730 at buyrokinon.com and there's an additional 10% off using code BACKWELCOME10. That makes it $10 cheaper than the Samyang version. I bought this during Black Friday and it's a truly outstanding lens. They didn't have the best reputation based on earlier designs but their latest AF lenses are absolute gems and quite the bargains.

Was $663 during Samyang holiday deal
So you basically spent a few more bucks than it costs now. Cool.

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger, but I'd rather price match it with B&H Photo in case there's something wrong with the copy I receive. Only problem is that their customer service won't be open until Sunday and I don't know if the current $656.96 price will still be available by then.

Edit: I called this morning to price match with B&H and the price had gone up $10 by then. It was kind of a hassle price matching as it took me about an hour with chat and then you have to call once they email you the quote. I should've just ordered directly from Rokinon's site on Friday.

Mine arrived 1 day after ordering from Samyang. Free shipping and no tax! What an incredible bargain. Sharpness is great even wide open. At <$700, this is a no brainer if you want a short telephoto/portrait lens for your e-mount camera.
