The Korean made Samyang is rebadged as
Bower, Falcon, Opteka,
Phoenix, Polar,
Rokinon, Sakar,
Vivitar and others.
Bower offers a variety of uniquely priced optics, delivering a lot of optical capability for very little money.
Recently, they have produced some long 500mm f/8 and 400mm f/6.3 telephoto glass lenses.
The T-mount system was introduced by Tamron in 1957 as a universal lens mount for 35mm cameras. The idea was that each lens would have a standard threaded rear flange. A camera specific adapter would then be attached at the point of sale, as needed. This greatly reduced costs since only the T-mount adapters needed to be stocked, rather than different versions of every lens

 Budget Ultra-Wide: the Bower 14mm f2.8
In the right set of hands, an ultra-wide 14mm lens has the ability to create incredibly dramatic photographs,
particularly travel landscapes plus every tight spot you've never been quite able to cram into the scene using the zoom kit lens that came as a part of your DSLR camera. However an ultra wide lens, especially a fast f/2.8 edition is often out in the left field price range for many photography enthusiasts. You can thank Bower for cracking the 14mm wide-angle lens price barrier for being significantly less than $500. How "significantly" less than $500? How'z about $389? Grab your attention now?

 85mm f/1.4 Manual Focus
Lens by Bower
A serious portrait length designed in combination with a huge f/1.4 maximum aperture size. This 85mm lens is really nice for FX DSLR full frame or SLR film cameras and additionally works on APS-C DSLR cameras, and the only
limitations to the operation of the camera is manual focusing only. it is available in mounts for Nikon, Pentax and and electronically communicates the aperture of the lens to the camera. For Canon, and Sony/Minolta there is no communication with the camera and must be set in
'M' or 'A'. Typical web price $329.99....

 Bower 500mm f/6.3 Manual Focus
Telephoto T-Mount A well-built classic
mirror lens, that's compact and light in weight. The
manual focus reaches in much closer than the majority of
long focal length camera lenses, and is somewhat easy
after you get the hang of it. IQ is somewhat better than
an inexpensive conventional 400mm f/6.3 zoom lens,
although not spectacular. Typical
web price $179.95.
