Raj am I missing something here? the OP asked about the 35mm and the links both refer top the 85mm
I would be interested in anyones experience of the 35mm.

How about the Sigma 30mm 1.4?Should be able to pick it up at about the same price as the Samyang plus you get AF.Nearly went for a Samyang 85mm 1.4 a while back but decided that I would not be able to cope with manual focus because I would be shooting the kids mainly so went for the Sigma 85mm and really happy with it.

The Samyang is I believe signifcantly sharper than the Sigma outside the center.
Not sure I could cope without autofocus on an 85mm lens but 35mm seems like potentially less of a problem.

Yeah the Samyangs do have a great reputation for being sharp.

The tests over at photozone show a mixed bag...

I personally think that there's simply no contest in bokeh with the Sigma thrashing the Samyang to death and importantly not suffering the Samyangs extremely angular rendering. As bokeh is so important in a lens like this that was the deciding factor for me and auto focus is nice to.
