The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Brightin 14mm f2.8 and the Samyang 14mm F2.8 for their suitability to various photography scenarios:

Besides being longer, the Samyang 14mm F2.8 also has a larger diameter of 87mm compared to the Brightin 14mm f2.8's 67mm diameter.
