Verdict
Pick the Samyang 16mm f/2 if you need a compact, ultra-wide prime for landscapes or tight interiors and want to spend as little as possible. Choose the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 if you prioritize a longer reach for portraits or low-light subjects and can invest nearly three times the budget. The Viltrox stays the better choice if autofocus and a brighter aperture are essential; the Samyang remains the smarter buy if manual focus and wide-angle framing are your main concerns.
