For a while I was on the lookout for a good 85mm lens for my 60D. I shoot both stills and movies. I tried a few, like the Zeiss 85mm 1,4, the Canon 1.8 and 1.2L, but settled with the cheapo Samyang. Even if it's the cheapest, it has better build quality than the Canon 1.8, and is way sharper wide open.
It's MF, but I don't mind it too much. What a great lens - I can recommend it to anyone looking for a good inexpensive prime lens.
Check out these samples I took, mostly @f1.4:
Problems:
MF, lack of aperture coupling
