I reckon that we have to start testing Samyangs now - they have surpassed Tokina already I reckon.

They are manufacturing very interesting, affordable and compact lenses lately! (with AF)
Klaus: do you plan on testing the new Sony FE ones any time soon? (35 and 24 f2.8)

According to some legends Markus has finalized the analytics of two lenses on the D850 ;-)

The thing is - we all had and have main jobs.
Seb became a father a couple of years ago - and that was it for him.
Markus, and to some degree also me, are at an age where the health of our parents are becoming an issue - making things difficult and harder to plan. At the end of the day, this has a higher priority.

Guess that gives you the rought idea of what the end user has to expect quality-wise. Looks like the 5DSR is going to shred it but it's gonna be semi-decent on 21MP. (like this: http://opticallimits.com/canon_eos_ff/48...5d?start=1)
At least, it is different to the current manual focus
Samyang 85mm F1.4 AS IF UMC Aspherical.
The design is very similar (albeit not identical) and Samyang's own MTFs do differ as well.
