Q: 3. is it compatible with a T5i? Whats the difference from a Samyang? O are they the same

A: Yes any EF lens will work with the T5i. It is a nice lens because it will give you a lot of separation from the subject and background, making your bokeh look creamy. Samyang, Rokinon and Bower are the same company that merged from Korea. I like the look of this lens, just remember you will need to back up from your subject and there is no autofocus it is all manual. Follow me on Instagram if you have anymore questions @bushfilms

Q: 9. Will my canon 2x extender fit on this lens?

A: Generally speaking, Canon 2x extenders are for Canon L lenses 135mm and over. Other combinations are not supported or recommended. That being said, you could try the combination and see if it fits. (Be careful the protruding glass element of the extender does not touch the rear glass element of the lens itself particularly with the lens is focused at infinity. It is unlikely a problem but caution is a good thing.) Look for loss of image quality in the form of poorer focus and chromatic aberration.
