I disagree with most people about these two lenses.
I love the Samyang and loathe the Sigma. Having said that I think the Samyang is a little softish wide open and never tack sharp with underdone aberation control.
However, those minor issues are well and truly made up for with gorgeous rendering at any focus distance for every scene and for any light. In my opinion.
It's also got good focusing performance and it's light, compact and inexpensive, it also shares a filter theead with a dozen other lenses I have and is only a small step up/down from may others.
I agree only with some of what you wrote but I am somewhat surprised you found the Samyang softish wide open, are you sure you have a good copy? I can't claim to have used a lot of E mount lenses but I would be hard pressed to name a lens when used wide open exceeding or even matching the sharpness of Samyang at F/1.8.
Well the Samyang is soft because my other 45mm ish lenses are so sharp.
The Sigma 2.4/40 Art, the 35 f1.2 art, even compared to the Zony 55.
But I LOVE the little Samyang. Love it.
