Verdict
Pick the Samyang 20mm f/1.8 if you prioritize a brighter maximum aperture for low-light performance and shallower depth of field. The Samyang AF 18mm f/2.8 stays the better choice if you prefer a slightly wider field of view and autofocus functionality. Both are equally priced, so the decision hinges on focal length preference and aperture needs.
