Very well might be, especially in the light of the odd behaviour of the aperture mechanism. I remember FredMiranda forum users reporting all sorts of mechanical malfunctions with other Samyang lenses, most notably 14/2.8 (like focusing scale being way off).
I'd retest the lens if I were Lenstip, maybe try a specimen in F mount.

Well, it might be just this sample but I doubt it... Personally I hoped so much Samyang would get this particular lens right!
BTW, like you are saying: Concerning Samyang lenses, I have also read more user reports/complaints on inferior mechanical quality / mulfunctions... -> seems like the Samyang hype is over... at least for me.
