Samyang/Rokinon Lenses
Anyone use one of these? Reading the reviews, the Samyang 35mm f1.4 is pretty damned good optically and it's on sale on Amazon right now for $480.

i have the 8mm. love it. I'm sure you know it's MF and those are the only cons i have experienced. I only use it for static shots.

I've seen some wedding videographers use it. I would not use them for stills though.

Looks like declicking the aperture ring is pretty easy.

Too bad it isn't just a bit cheaper then it would be a total no brainer.
