That's a good tip, thanks for that.
I read a review comparing the Samyang 14 2.8 with the Irix 15mm F2.4 The Irix outperformed the Samyang in almost all ways. I also noticed in a review of the Sigma 14 it was compared with both the Samyang and the Irix. The Irix seemed slightly better at F2.8. The Irix comes in 2 types, the Blackstone (mag alloy body) and the Firefly (polycarbonate body, same optics and mechanics, lighter and cheaper).
I went for the Firefly off ebay. AUD$587 which is cheap for an ultra wide.
Laowa are supposed to be releasing their 15mm F2 soon but the 12mm has some coma issues. So who knows.
