I wished Samyang would release AF 12mm f/2.0. Sorry about the end of their support for EOS M and RF as well.
“… end of their support for EOS M …” ??? Was there some announcement about this?
My renewed interest in Rokinon/Samyang comes from my wanting another/better UWA lens, and the Rokinon 10mm f2.8 popped up, along with the Venus Laowa 9mm f2.8. Haven’t seen a lot of buzz about either. Leaning slightly towards the Venus at the moment because the Rokinon is gigantic and can’t use filters.
But the Rokinon 12mm - for half the price - might be the winner (for me). Still cogitating on this.
I recently bought the 9mm f2.8 Laowa lens as well, and love it. It is pricey so if that is a concern, the Samyang is also a fantastic lens. I snagged a Laowa on ebay for $300 so if you are patient, don't mind secondhand, and are willing to keep looking for one (almost daily) you might be able to find one cheaper than new.
Now B&H have the 9mm with a $100 holiday discount. Link
Thanks! I see that Amazon (via a seller) has matched this price, too.
I like to get as wide as possible at times, and the 8mm fisheye is great but there are times when I don't want the curvature, and the Laowa gives much better shots than trying to correct the 8mm lens distortion in post, even with the hi-res m6ii.
What I like about the Laowa so much is not only is it sharp and ultra-ultra wide (quite a bit wider than the 12mm Sanyang) it's also a very small lens that can fit into side pockets of my camera bag the Samyang can't --- so is much more likely to get taken along. The best lens is the lens you have with you...
Here's a good, recent thread on the Laowa, if you haven't seen it:

Yes, it is a lens that is on my wish list.
Since it is very wide, the lack of AF is not an issue.
Tempted to buy at $400
So … tempting …………..
Canon’s price reduction on the 32mm finally put me over the edge on that one, so I might not be able to resist on this one either. SO many dilemmas in life!
Stay tuned….
