This is one of the reasons I ended up with a7iv instead of R6ii. I liked the features of R6ii for my use but didn't see too many affordable lenses other than the Canon refurbished ones
As a long time Canon owner, you made the right choice. If I didn't have so much L glass that's still great or was starting fresh today, I would've switched to Sony.

Looked at a few reviews today. The Rokinon is on par with GM for quality, but GM edges out on AF performance and stability for video.

Well, Sony of course got too greedy and ignorant to include I.S. in any of its lenses, bolstered by a dumb minority saying it "damages" image quality (?) or would "raise" the cost, so stability in that regard is no different (and terrible relying solely on I.B.I.S.).

The $475 actually was a fluke. I don't think a lot of folks was able to jump on that deal. So far this is one of the lowest I've seen
I was one of the folks able to jump on the $475 deal :-) Great lens. Just used it a few minutes ago.

I hesitated since i had an 85mm 1.8 at that time. But pulled the trigger now and i am blown away, sold my 85mm. $522 is almost the same as the $475 since Rokinon did not tax me

They are POS for that and their customer service is abysmal. I emailed both their email addresses and got no response. I can only imagine if I actually had an issue with their lens

I did too. Letting know what happened to me and guess what, Got an email to complete my purchase with a coupon already applied by them...So bought it instantly.
All I can say:

I L O V E R O K I N O N / S A M Y A N G

btw just checked and seems they are listing to us and the deal seems back so if you felt what I had, don't waste a single second and buy it at this incredible price right now. I have 4 copies of same lens in Manual focus including one in Cine version and Always wanted to have the AF one too.
I'm so glad they have been this kind to me and honestly, I was going to buy the lens at a regular price cause this lens is worth its weight in gold.
Jump on the deal before it disappears. Can't wait to receive my gem.

THANK YOU ROKINON FOR BEING ALWAYS THERE FOR ME.

For anyone doubting about this gem lens, the 135mm F1.8 AF, just watch any review on YT. I personally trust Christopher Frost over the past decade as one of the best for having a very uniform system of evaluating any lens (So viewers can always see the comparisons by going over the archive) and more importantly, he is not one who can be sponsored or purchased. A LINK HERE [youtube.com], if you haven't seen the review from 2 years back.

They have extended the deal for everyone.
Use the link in this SD's thread and the coupon. You should be able to get the lens right now at the price said. Just checked it right now and it works.
But hurry up if you are really interested in buying the lens at this price point.
