Their 35/1.4 and 85/1.4 are extremely good and comparable to the Nikon/Canon versions. Only drawback (or advantage, to some) is that they're manual.

Would suspect their 24/1.4 is about the same in terms of quality. Might have to worry about the quality control as with a lot of third party companies.

3rd party quality control is no worse than buying nikon/canon.

Being manual is less of disadvantage on the 24 1.4 thanks to the shorter focal length.
