There is no doubting that this is a good lens, capable of producing images with outstanding sharpness. However, for a basic lens, that offers no electronic coupling with the camera, to be more expensive than the equivalents on offer from the manufacturer doesn't make a lot of sense. It may be that those who prefer the handling of a proper manual focus lens may gravitate to this as an alternative, but even then, there's nothing to stop them focusing manually with the manufacturers offering.

Except, you know, that whole focus-by-wire delay.

The Rokinon 50mm f/1.4 AS IF UMC is not any cheaper than the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4, nor the Nikon G, nor the Sony Alpha 50mm, nor the original Sigma 50mm f/1.4 HSM, but it is optically superior to them all.

Funny how some guy put a video claiming it's a Red Dragon 6K with the Rokinon lenses while it's clearly DSLR footage with moirè problems on some flimsy tripod..
