Nice shot Ulrik!
I have the Rokinon version of the Samy 85/1.4, 85L mk2, and contax N 85/1.4.
The Rokinon/Samy 85/1.4 like Paul mentions, competes very well wide-open.
There have been comparisons posted here showing the Rokinon/Samy 85 slightly sharper at 1.4 than the 85L which my own comparisons have shown too. It has a super-smooth type of bokeh which is different from my other two 85's. The Rokinon/Samy 85 is optimized more for wide-open shooting and doesn't improve in sharpness as much as other 85's when stopping down.
It is an incredible value for the IQ, especially considering how it does against my other two 85's which cost 3 to 4 times more than it. I shoot more with the N 85/1.4 because of the nice Zeiss colors,contrast and its smooth bokeh and excellent sharpness too along with excellent AF or MF capabilities.
If you shoot wide-open or f2 alot, then the Rokinon/Samy 85 is worth getting. I like the Rokinon/Samy 85's colors better than 85L, especially how it renders blues.
