I'm not sure if lens manufacturing is the same as something like TV's, where % of specific grades of panels are given to certain manufacturers. that popular 8mm f/3.5 MF fisheye is manufactured by samyang AFAIK, and re-branded to a dozen manufacturers such as vivitar, rokinon, bowen, pro-optic etc.

if you get it from their .pl website, you can pick a video SLR version which has an aperture ring. if you go to their ebay store, it's just the one version, plus i think it feels safer to go through ebay and paypal and such.
