Nice photos and they make the point. I esp like the first one. I think that the Samyang is an amazing lens.

You mean Samyang 85/1.4 or Samyang fisheye - those are the most common lenses from the maker. The 85/1.4 is nice, but it is all manual. If you mean the fisheye (the point was rather about 90mm equivalent - or longer - for landscapes), I never really grew to like that lens. It was cute and easy on one hand, yet very demanding (of a good composition) on the other. And when I thought I was about getting it, withing the same frame it was getting messed up elsewhere. I simply got rid of it.

Perhaps I will try one on a full frame camera, but have not been very excited about the thought so far.
