Doesn't look like there's an official thread yet. Show some love!

Great shots! The one with the two girls hiding is especially great! Of course, having a little daughter of my own, I am biased towards that kind of thing

I think there was a thread earlier, but why not have a new one.

Alright! Here's some of my shots with the Samyang-branded version, all on a 5Dc.
(Sorry if the vertical shots are too large, it was this or 640pix)
Some portraits:

#1 Wide open.

#2 I'm guessing f/2

#3 Wide open.

#4 Wide open. Thank <insert deity of choice> for 1/8000sec shutter speed

#5 Self portrait, f/2.8, red filter applied in PP.

Showing off the bokeh:

#6 Wide open.

The Samylux also works great with extension tubes:

#7 f/2

#8 f/1.4 at 1:1 magnification gives quite shallow DOF.

Those are nice, really liked the selfie RZetter.

IDURITA, yeah, I sometimes forget that the lens is marketed under those different names; I only searched for Rokinon,

There is a Rokinon (aka Bower, Samyang, Vivitar) 85mm 1.4 thread in the Nikon forum, just to add a few more pages to this one:

Again, if the new 35/1.4 is anything like this 85/1.4, I'm definitely buying one....

I just wish they add an electronic communication chip.....

I'd really like to get one, but I'm investing in a couple other trinkets right now, so I'll have to settle for my 50 f/1.4 and 100 f/2 for the time being
