There are more AF-options for this range, Canon mount and in good or better quality - why has it to bee Samyang? Or other question: are you sure, Samyang has a repair workshop in the coutry you're living in?
There's a Tamron 45/1.8 (https://www.dpreview.com/products/tamron/lenses/tamron_sp_45_1p8_di_vc_usd) and a Tokina 50/1.4 (https://www.dpreview.com/products/tokina/lenses/tokina_opera_50_1p4).
The Sigma Art is in between the two (in terms of price) and still top. Also, contrary to the new Tokina, it's often available second hand. If weight and size are not crucial, I'd opt for the Sigma any time, it's really really excellent.
