Impressed with the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 RF Mount

Haven't had a real chance to use it but for the few hours I've had it and gotten to test it out, I'm very impressed and happy with my decision to save some money. Sharpness, speed to focus and build quality are all excellent. Opened wide from f/1.4 to about f/2 there's a noticeable vignette but Adobe RAW has the optical profile to compensate for it when used.
I'm just an enthusiast family guy so I couldn't justify the cost of the Canon f/1.2 but still wanted something pretty nice. Anyone interested in a nice portrait lens that is super sharp, delivers some really great creamy bokeh, do give it a look. really look forward to when the family is home and I can get some shots other than my four legged kids
