I wanted one for a while but I needed to sell something first, I sacrificed my Zeiss 50/1.7 so the Samyang didn't cost me much. 
I have some portrait jobs coming up and the Samyang looked the best lens for the job (without breaking the bank).

The 35mm is a hair sharper nonetheless costlier

You should add "Walimex" to "Rokinon/Vivitar/Polar/Bower/Opteka/Falcon", as it's the most common label in Europe I think
I think I've also even seen it once in "Porst" label on Ebay  (it seems to be quite rare in this label though )
It's a nice lens with great price/perfomance!
The Samyang 35/1.4 is not only a hair sharper, especially stopped down to F4 it's actually much sharper but double as expensive.
Samyang anounced the announcement of an 50/1.2 this year  . I hope it will have low vignetting on FF
A 135/2 would be also nice
(35/1.4, 85/1.4 slightly but especially 24/1.4 and 14/2.8 all have some noteworthy vignetting when used on FF at wide apertures, up to about 3 stops!)
