p.1 #1 · Leica Summilux 80/1.4 vs Rokinon 85/1.4

Look at the bad bokeh at f1.4 from Leica. Does it really worth 10x the price I said not but would I keep my leica I would say yes because of the build quality the improvement from f2.8. But I wouldn't buy the leica if I don't really have it already

I prefer the watercolor look in the OOF areas the Summilux creates as well. Reminds me of the Noctilux and the random hallucinatory wigglies is creates. Boke appreciation is highly subjective.
