85mm f/1.4 Samyang

Thought I'd share my excitement;

Taking delivery of a used/mint/boxed 85mm f/1.4 Samyang tomorrow (Wed), another manual focus prime lens to add to my existing 35mm version.

I've a few days off work presently so hoping to have an image or two up-loaded with this 85mm f/1.4

Good luck with it... Realy looking forward to the shots! My 85mm Nikon is one of my all time faves!

Also curious to see what you do with it. I used to have the Canon 85mm f1.2L, but I sold it because it sat in my bag too much - I was never a fan of that focal length. It was too narrow for me as a street lens for walking around, and for indoor shots of the family. I'm more of a wide shooter, I guess, so unless I have a specific need, I rarely go longer than 50mm.
