Besides the Samyang being fully manual, is there any major differences between the two? Is the Canon worth the extra 4-500 bucks?

Heya,

The Canon has autofocus & weather sealing (but this only matters if your body is also weather sealed).

The Samyang takes the cake on everything else.

Very best,

I used to have the Samyang 14mm. Is the 24mm equivalent as for IQ?

Heya,

The 24mm is exquisite.

Of their produced lenses, the 14, 24 and 85 are their finest and rival and/or beat many of the $1k alternatives. They're just completely manual.

Very best,
