Pick the Lensbaby Burnside 35 if you want a creative, swirly bokeh effect and a slightly longer focal length for environmental portraits or artistic shots. Opt for the Samyang 24mm f/1.4 if low-light performance, a wider field of view, and sharper depth control are your priority. The Burnside stays the better choice if you value unique optical character over technical precision, while the Samyang remains the more versatile and faster prime for general use. Budget is nearly identical, so decide based on shooting style.
