Verdict
Pick the Laowa 105mm f/2 if you need a medium-telephoto portrait lens with a brighter maximum aperture and smooth bokeh for shallow depth-of-field work. Choose the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 if you prioritize ultra-wide-angle architecture, interiors, or astrophotography and want to save around 100 EUR. The Laowa stays the better choice if you specifically need its 105 mm focal length and f/2 aperture, while the Samyang remains the only option for 14 mm wide-angle shooting.
