While I could see the samyang on a 5d/mkii or maybe a 50d; on an t2 or xsi it would be a bear to focus without live view. Also (personal taste here) I really dislike stop down metering.
Btw does this lens suffer from focus shift? I know the zeiss c/y lens is well known for strong focus shift; and vaguely I think you said the sigma had very little (though I think I remember reading the 50f1.4 variant had quite a bit) so was a bit surprise there.

Yep, see the comment in the LoCA section. It's not severe though.
