I have the Vivitar-branded version of the Rok85/1.4. Like Omega says, it will kick out some wicked CA wide open in high contrast and back lit situations, but otherwise it is an AWESOME portrait lens... if you can live with manual focus.
Having owned the Nikon 85/1.4 AFD, I'd say that image quality is comparable, and it would be redundant owning both.
Focus is well damped, but nothing special in terms of handling... it's a 1/4 turn around the barrel to focus from infinity to one meter, so you've gotta be precise at manual focus.
Good luck! Here are some recent samples of the 85/1.4 at f/1.4 on my D700:
