Finally i received my Samyang 85 1.4 and i went out for taking some shots, it looks like a solid lens but i guess i need a little more time to get used to. Hope you enjoy them.

Unfortunately i don't remember exactly but i guess there are some, 1.8, 1.4 and 5.6 inside.

I'll do some especially 1.4 next Wink

Edit: All photos with camera D700

Great shots! I especially like the composition of #7 (the B&W).

I'm becoming a big fan of this lens. I have a Canon FD 85/1.2, but it's useful only with my Canon film cameras, so I'd like to get one of these for my DLSR. I can't decide, though -- should I get one in Nikon F mount, so I can use it with both my Nikon F2 and with my Canon DSLR with an adapter, or should I get it in EOS only mount? Is there a significant advantage to getting one in EOS mount vs. using an adapter? Focus confirmation? Exif data perhaps?

About the above images -- very good sharpness, but the contrast seems a bit soft on some -- almost a haze (see #2, 7, and 8 ). Is this the lens, or . . . ?

I guess it's me Smile I understand 2 and 8 but i don't think there is haze in 7 but i may be wrong.

About the adapter unfortunately i won't be able to help because if i were you i'd be in the same dilemma.

All shots are great, congrats. B/W picture taken in Sirkeci Train Station?

How do you compare this lense to Jupiter 9 ?

Sorry, I miscounted. I meant 6 instead of 7.

I find them all very nice, except last one.
Favourites are the two child portraits.
