Great lens when knowing how to use it!

Have this lens for 10 days now, used it mostly for portraits. I have to say it's an Amazing Lens overal, not perfect but it has a lovely organic feel, nice bokeh and also a decent sharp lens, i own sharper lenses, but it's pretty sharp!! manual focussing on 1.8 is a bit tricky, but with some practice and good focus peaking it works really well on my Lumix G85! from 2.8 focussing get's easier. I owned before voigtlander nokton lenses on my Fuji Xe2 and the samyang is overal sharper, but Voigtlander produces creamier bokeh.
