+1 But I think it actually 30cm. I read somewhere that the Samyang MFD is measured from the lens front element and not the sensor plane. The MFD sure feels longer than 1m, so I wouldn\'t be surprised if that\'s true.
Yes it`s 1m from front element - actually more than 15cm difference which is very high for portrait photography. I think Samyang is real f1.5. Samyang is best for it price but to be honest i prefer Zeiss(C/Y) 85/1.4 and Canon FD 85 1.2. These two are far better than Samyang in terms of bokeh, colours, sharpness(samyang is similar or better at mfd and f1.4) flare control(zeiss!) and bulid quality.
You must have different taste for bokeh than me if you think the Zeiss is better 
Regarding the FD 85/1.2, I directly compared the two for bokeh, colours, sharpness, etc. I sold the FD (and the EF 85/1.8):
To say the the FD 85/1.2 is \"far better\" is hyperbole. If you prefer it, fine, but the Rokinon keeps up with it without a problem. If the images were not labelled, you could barely tell the difference (except that the Rokinon\'s bokeh is smoothest).
