I have the samyang 85mm f1.4, and it's very difficult to get the right focus with it if you don't have focus peaking and also with it, at 1.4 the image is so soft that you'll get at most 1 out of 3 pics in perfect focus.

For the rest, it's a nice lens, with some CA wide open.

the 30mm is a gem.

thanks for the advice, yeah other review's i've read deemed 1.4 nearly useless because the DoF is so thin, something closer to 2.8 is far more useful. If this is true then there isn't really any point in buying a lens with such high aperture that isn't even useable.
