There was one. Not the perfect motif but the Samyang bokeh was there - and at least traces of similar wide-open sharpness as the 35. (#6)
Then you're lucky jimue. The Polish engineers at Lenstip seem to care about that too, so it is very likely to be part of their (forthcoming) test. Seldom seen from other lens testers.
A few may have already seen this on Facebook.
The pricing for the 24mm/f1.4 is
"According to the previous information, Samyang 24mm 1:1.4 ED AS UMC will be available in sale in the first week of February this year. The estimated retail price in Europe will be:
599 EUR gross- Samyang 24mm 1:1.4 ED AS UMC (Canon, Four-thirds, Pentax, Samsung NX oraz Sony)
625 EUR gross - Samyang AE 24mm 1:1.4 ED AS UMC (Nikon)"
A bit more than I thought it would be
Trying to figure out what U.S dollar price will be.
The current dollar/euro exchance is about 1.3 $ to Euro, but the price show is the gross w/VAT

This shot at f/1.4 shows some nice corner performance and CA (at the shiny part of the rain pipe) looks quite controlled. I don't see any wavy distortion either.
I hope the street price will be a bit lower in The Netherlands. I'm fine with €500.
I think it looks good. Inevitable/typical glow wideopen but pretty impressive detail. Remembering the quite dismal test images they posted for the 35/1.4 this looks promising to me. That lens turned out to be much more impressive in real world usage than the first images supplied by lenstip implied.
What I lack is a more close-up motif at F/1.4 with visible bokeh. But I think the desert images previously posted told enough on that subject.

Very true. These samples are out of camera jpegs with no sharpening at all so I expect the same will be true here as you suggest.
Actually, they state OOC jpgs and lowest sharpening -- so if they look at all decent, even as jpgs they can look better OOC. I never shoot at the low sharpening setting -- any lens looks too soft to me.
