It looks to me like this will be another good lens, similar to their 85/1.4 -- good bokeh, sharpness, and value for money. Perhaps a nice option for those who aren't seeking extreme resolution like Sigma's 50/1.4 Art offers, but much better bokeh (judging by the few samples). Unfortunately only 8 aperture blades again though.

The cine version will cost GBP 480 according to dpr, so I'd expect the stills version to be a bit cheaper: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/4797216303/samyang-announces-50mm-f-1-4-ucm-still-and-50mm-t1-5as-umc-video-lenses

8 is better than 5.

It's too bad they couldn't do the 50/1.2 people had been hoping for, but if it's as good as the 35 and 85, it will have a strong fan base.
