I have not seen a thread showing samples/reviews for Rokinon / Bower / Samyang x-mount lenses. If there is one point me in the right direction.

It would be great to see and hear everyone's experiences.

It's my understanding all three of these are the same manufacturer, thus the same product. The only experience I have is with the 12mm Rokinon which comes highly recommended for night photography on the X series. I find it a very good sharp lens the only drawback is the manual focus which I find more and more difficult the older I get. I use a Hoodman loupe to compensate for the poor eyesight.

The Fuji forum is a small crowd. Fuji users shooting 3rd party is an even smaller crowd. I have a few with the Rok 85 f/1.4 in the general Fuji forum and probably in my gallery. I think they're just some off-the cuff street portraits and maybe a couple of test shots of cyclists riding in the park.

I have the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm f2, 21mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.4 and I love all 3. I'm actually probably going to end up with the Rokinon 50mm f1.2 as my next lens. All 3 lenses are relatively small, light (obviously the 85mm is both larger and heavier than the other 2), well built and most importantly, have excellent optics.

12mm
