But Samyang already has a DSLR version, Rokinon 85mm f1.4 AS IF. Given it's performance, it's more a small, lukewarm cake: https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2019/04...ng-lenses/ 

With AF, you mean? Hmm, I can't see how they do increase the flange distance from Sony ML to CaNikon without changing it optically.

And still, I don't think, it would sell like hot cakes: Nearly all DSLR owners looking for a 85/1.4 already got a solution, be it 2nd hand, 3rd party or grey import genuines, or the better f/1.8 versions (at least in Nikon land, the cheaper is the better).

Even Nikon now will release their 85/1.8 S this or next week (at ridiculous prices, no doubt).

  With AF !!    .... actually the MF version is one of the least good Samyang lenses at wide apertures.

   what solution have they ...... older F1.8 lenses ...... as in AF85 F1.8D like mine ..... or the G F1.8 (which is very affordable) ??........  directly you look at large aperture Nikkors things get frighteningly expensive.

 ........ there's plenty of room out there for a Samyang 85 F1.4 at 600 euros in any mount!
