How about an unofficial thread?
There seems to be a few gracing the members here. Please join in.

I'll start with the 75.
A unique blend of focal length, aperture speed, cost, size and output.

The amazing Olive.

Thank you. Samyang started out with and delivered quite a few excellent manual focus lenses. I’ve used their 14 and 85 on Nikon DSLRs, and fisheyes on mFT and APS-C. The 12mm F2 rectilinear on APS-C is a personal favorite.
When I was still shooting with Canon. I had the Rokinon(re branded Samyang) 14mm, 35mm, and 85mm. Loved them. And Canon had manual focus screens for the 5D and 5D2. Samyang/Rokinon make some excellent lenses.
 
Couple that (I don't think) have been posted.

24/1.8

135/1.8. I bought this lens on sale, happy as a clam to get it for $800. The it went on sale about 5 weeks later for $475 on Prime day. That was a STEAL.

I have the 35/1.4 too. Great lens, I just don't seem to use it much.

There’s an open box 135 1.8 for Sony on eBay right now for 649, and they made an offer of 615 to me. Sounds like I’ll wait till another prime day!
 
The Tioga Pass just opened this last weekend. Crowley and Mono Lakes are easily noticeably fuller. Especially Mono. It's the most I've seen(noticed) in the 50 I've been up here. The weather is just amazing right now.
I love seeing that much snow still on the Sierra in July…I don’t think I’ve seen that much up there the entire 7 years or so I frequented the area.
