Are the Samyangs just as good as the Nikon or Fuji?

The Samyang obviously won't be as good as the Fuji, maybe close to the old nikkor optically, possibly slightly better.  I'm not sure because I know Samyang "updated" their coatings so you might want to ask in the Nikon lens forum.  I do know certain Samyang lenses are better than others.  You will have to do a little research.

I thought speeds booster attachments would account for the crop factor, thereby making "full-frame" lenses more relevant on mirrorless bodies. So, wouldn't the 105 or 135 be fine?

Honestly I'm not sure what speed booster you are talking about.  I'm not familiar with that and someone else might want to answer your question.

I am glad you are bringing up these points. Thanks.
