samyang 35mm or nikkor 35mm f1.4 or f2 for dslr 60d

Hi, i was wondering what you prefer between samyang 35mm or nikkor 35mm 1.4 or 2 on a canon 60d ?
My intention is videoshoots.
Thanks in advance

I would take a Nikor over a Samyang anyday.

But why not a Canon lens? You'll get the benefits of auto focus & auto iris, plus you won't need an adapter.

the canon lens can be good ? The d series?

D series?

what about the sigma 30mm compare to the other 2?

I'm a happy Samyang/Rokinon 35 user.

Rokinon is very, very good. Nikon G is apparently a bit better, but look at that price ($1600 or something!). And then you need a special adapter to change aperture.

Canon L might be the way to go if you have the money. But the Rokinon is excellent, on par with the best Canon lenses only it's manual everything.

Old AI-S Nikkor is garbage optically (technically) and loaded with coma and spherical aberration but it gives a cool "look" and is tiny. For the right projects I adore it.

Arniepix says he would take nikkor anyday over samyang
Policar said samyang is very very good, and nikkor is garbarge optically.

Well.. Samyang looks good to me, maybe nikkor is a bit for soft...?

I have the 35 f2 AIS and its a wonderful little lens for quick video work and if you want to go light.. I only use the 35 1.4 cine (which I rent btw) when I rig up my D800 , its a beautiful lens too. Can't go wrong with any of the two.
