Thank you and apologies to those who shared their take on this. I have been trying to get back to what we call Life the past week so I wasn't able to check on this.:-D

As some of you here mentioned, Dustin Abbot and Christopher Frost are probably the only ones who have reviewed the Samyang 85. Both have praised the said lens and both are very detailed and technical with their reviews. And I think it's safe to say that both are also very reliable youtube channels.

As of now, I like the Samyang a bit more because of the f1.4. I don't really care much about macro or video AF since I'm into stills 95% of the time. And I've been shooting pretty much without stabilization on my M50.

Having said that, I will have to wait for reviewers like Dustin and Chris or our good friends here in this forum to get their hands on the Canon 85/2.
