My Samyang 85mm 1.4 looks different?

Hey all,

I recently bought a Samyang 85mm 1.4 for my Canon 60D, but the lens itself looks different from what you normally see.

This is what the lens normally looks like:

That looks like is the newer version of the Rokinon branded version. Same exact lens as the Samyang just using the Rokinon name

Hmm.. It says Samyang on the left side of the lens, though.

New version. Samyang changed it's design details a bit.

This.

I wish I had that version, I like the hyperfocal scale on the new one. I'm still waiting for the AE version though, they just came out with the AE 35/1.4 for Canon so it's only a matter of time

Cool, thanks all!

Heya,

I have the newer revision of the Samyang as well with the ring at the aperture and not near the front element. It's the same lens. Just different look. They have lots of revisions amongst the OEM's for slightly different looks. Great lens.

Very best,

thanx for the link,some great photos on there,is the rokinon version the newer style as well,

Where did you get this newer and better looking version?

Great lens, but I really do not need another 85 right now. Gene
