Comparing 3 Apparently Identical Tilt-Shift Lenses

Can anyone identify whether the following f/3.5 24mm tilt-shift lenses are in any way different?

- Bower SLY24TSC 24mm f/3.5 ($649.99)
- Samyang Tilt-Shift SYTS24-C 24mm f/3.5 ($729)
- Rokinon TSL24M-C 24mm f/3.5 ($799)

They appear to be of identical appearance. Do they differ regarding glass quality, warranty, or in other ways? Or, are they just 3 different labels of the same lens?

I believe that they are just re-badged versions of the same lens.

That's my take, too, but maybe I'm missing some key point.

I believe you are correct from my understanding.

I would say that the Rokinon is the better (Best) lens, as it costs more than the others.!! s that lateral thinking??

They are identical except for the branding.
