My wife likes this lens very much and I have no problem to get her approval for the upcoming Samyang f/1.4 35mm, too.
Taken with Samyang f/1.4 85mm at f/1.8 on EOS 5D:

Wow - I know photography/portraits are very subjective...but in my books that's about as good as natural light portraits gets. Lovely bokeh with no hot spots! Dave

Guys,
I'm really amazed at the quality of images that you got with this lens. The appearance is similar to those of Carl Zeiss, awesome! Although I have just purchased a CZ Distagon 35mm 1.4, I'll wait for the new release from Samyang. I'm really surprised. And of course, besides the optical lens quality, congratulations for the work you all, very high level. See you!

Here's my take on the lens indoors home style studio with flash fired into umbrella ..

And a couple of outdoor ones

And one a little over exposed but i like it in b&w

Absolutely amazing value on a 5Dmk2 with high precision focusing screen installed.

jfinite,
The image of the man smoking is great. Love how the smoke catches the light. Also really enjoy the next image of the couple sharing a moment. Well caught.
Lots of great images from this lens.

A couple of B&W conversions with the Samyang 85/1.4:

I wish the lamp standard wasn't in the background.

I am looking forward to trying their 35/1.4...

Hi,
After seeing these postings, I couldn't take it any longer...I have an 85mm/1.4 being shipped to me this week. I have the 14mm/2.8 and it is sharp/contrasty, so this purchase was in the cards for a bit.
Thanks to all for the great images that have been shared on this thread.
Regards,
Edd

Just bought the lens and camera to go with it (5D) two days ago. Not much chance to play with it yet, but a couple of quick snaps (with about 30 secs PP between them). The first was taken while checking out the camera and lens before buying. Its probably what sold the package to me

pictures are nothing special, but the lens looks like it will be a delight, better for people than ducks though.

Just received the Samyang version yesterday. Great portrait lens.
My only gripe is that the focusing scale doesn't line up with reality.
Infinity is off by a couple of hairs.
Maybe I should send it back and get another one.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem with misaligned focusing scale ?
Thanks, Jakob
