Finally got a chance to try theSamyang 35 as a portrait lens on my 7D, halloween dress-up party.
ISO1600, f/1.4, 1/50s, and natural light (floodlight on the shed wall behind-right):

Gian (and I'm being serious now) these are great portraits. Perfect lighting and well controlled exposure for the mood you want to convey.
