Manual focus lens, works on full frame cameras. Very interested in how this compares to the Sigma 30mm f1.4 on a 60D.

it seems to be a great lens

for people doubting samyang: the samyang 85mm f/1.4 is much closer to the canon 85mm f/1.2 or to the zeiss planar 85mm f/1.4 than to canon’s 85mm f/1.8; sure, it’s not nearly as good in terms of sharpness, but check out these bokeh tests!!
