..... everybody will now want to see the comparison reviews with the Samyang at a third of the price .........

Put my name off the guest-list for that party. I don't care about Samyang.   Sorry, no longer "everybody".

But f-stoppers compared them already and if you don't care that Lee occasionally gives wrong information without correcting it lateron you will find conformed what you already think, if my guess is right.

I found the detail of the polished aspherical lens very interesting. Usually, it's pressed glass without mechanical treatment such as grinding or polishing because the profiles are too complicated to grind them in a normal lens grinding device. As I understand that bit, Sony just evens out the surface - they don't grind if from a cut piece of glass? I'd really love to visit the factory.
