What cost is that, you may ask? The cost of luxury. . .pure, plain, and simple. This lens does not have any auto-focus, any image stabilization, any electronics period. Now to someone like myself who thrives on the technical aspects of most anything out there (engineer for a reason I guess, haha), this lens answers a call of the minimalistic nature - one where you have to take the time and think about what you are shooting with respect the environment (lighting conditions, subject matter, etc) you find yourself in. If you do take your time, are willing to work through a fully manual lens to match your shooting environment, you will be fully rewarded with your results from this wonderful lens.
A point of note, and something that I took into account and kept in the back of my mind before purchasing this lens. . .there is apparently somewhat of a quality issue with improperly focused (de-centered) lenses, i.e. soft focus on one side or the other of the lens. I will admit that my copy is ever so slightly (and I do mean a very small amount) softer on the bottom right of the frame. Is it enough for me to notice? Not really. . .and I am a very analytical individual when it comes to scrutinizing just about anything (especially my pictures). The ever so slight de-centering was only noticed when testing specially for this. In real world testing, the de-centering is non-existent. Overall though, just something to keep in mind. Also, this lens does have some distortion - all of which can be fixed very simply with a program/plugin such as PTLens or other various lens profiles floating around out there on the internet for programs such as Lightroom or Photoshop.
Summary? I don't think you can get a better lens in the $400 or below range. If you are wanting a lens for a walk around/point and shoot type, well this is obviously not your choice. If you like to shoot landscapes, or put emphasis on a subject with a larger background in view, well then this lens is definitely worth a look. On a scale of 1-10 I would give this lens about a 9/10. The one knock to me is the lack of ability to use a standard filter (i.e. circular polarized filter for landscapes).
I will definitely keep other Rokinon (Samyang) products in mind on (seemingly inevitable) future lens purchases!
Side Notes: I am shooting with this lens on a crop sensor, not full frame. & Look for my images watermarked "Down Scope Photography" in the sample photos for examples.
*Edit* After viewing lens on full frame body, more de-centering is evident in lens (not noticed really on my crop sensor body). Just re-ordered a new copy to come while I send this one back. If I wasn't so particular, it would not be an issue. I still leave this lens at 5 stars for the moment, pending on how the new lens looks.

It is built like a tank. When you pick it up for the first time, it simply oozes quality, with extremely precise construction and movements, a buttery smooth and crisp focus ring, and a very nice heft. This lens absolutely does not feel or work like a budget lens. It feels and shoots like premium professional glass, playing in the same league as Carl Zeiss and Canon L. Do you get what you pay for? No, I would say in this case you actually get quite a bit more.
The image quality I've been getting from this lens is absolutely superb. Mine is razor sharp across the frame in most shots, especially stopped down. You get creamy bokeh and some vignetting at 2.8. This is normal and desirable, and it looks great in real life. I seriously do not understand people who whine about these perfectly normal features that are essentially inherent to any ultrawide lens when shot wide open. They add a nice emphasis to the subject in most real-world images.
As for the perfectly normal mustache distortion, it is only notable in images where you have a straight line crossing through the middle of your frame, such as a sea horizon at sunset. In most normal photos you will not see any distortion. You really need straight lines for it to be noticeable. Either way, this is easily corrected with one click in Aperture, Lightroom or Adobe Camera RAW with any one of the many free and excellent lens profiles available as a simple download online. Also note that moustache distortion is inherent to virtually all ultra-wide angle lenses, including Canon L glass.
Overall, I love this lens. It is currently my favorite lens I have shot with in over 7 years of serious and professional photography, and I would highly recommend it to those who know how to shoot with ultra-ultra-wides (see Ken Rockwell's article on the subject, but disregard his inaccurate review of this lens which was based on a bad copy of the ProOptic version he got from Adorama). Basically embrace the stylistic nature of the lens, and do not merely use it to cram more stuff into your frame. It really is a majestic lens to have in your arsenal.
The only reasons to consider the Canon L lens are USM autofocus and the electronic control of aperture (which enables program mode). You can shoot in Aperture Priority and Manuak modes just fine with this lens. If you just want AF confirm you can get a chip for that for about $10 or less on eBay. For doing landscape work, this lens will do the trick. If you are shooting people, you may want to consider an autofocus lens.
Lastly, I will leave you with a quick tip: when shooting with this lens, it is best to shoot on a tripod if possible, and to check your focus zoomed in 10x on the magnifier in live view (tripod or not). Otherwise you may be blaming the lens for soft shots that were due to an easily avoidable user focusing error. If you focus properly, this lens will nail the shot every time. It's an incredible buy.

My only problem with this lens is the hood is fixed and can’t be removed which I find pointless and makes carrying it in my backpack more arkward and bulky
