This is an unbelievable lens.. Olympus is not kidding around with their primes. This is well worth the price tag.
Uauuu! Wonderful review with superb photos!
Here's another review from a street photographer. Some beautiful images, and 100% crops showing superb detail. This might be my next lens purchase.

Comparing to FF lenses it is good to remember that most 85mm are designed as portrait oriented. Like Samyang. Normally they are not sharpest lenses in the world. 75mm by Olympus is desides as sharp tele lens, so it must be compared to same.
Absolutely destroys the Canon http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/154/cat/10
Looks damn good
As usual. With all latest Olympus prime lenses :-)
Could be really good line: 12mm, new 14mm F1.8, new 17mm F1.8, new 25mm F1.8, 45mm F1.8, 75mm F1.8, and 150 F1.8 :-)
This blur unit diagram, from SLR Gear, which is solid purple, is cause for serious LBA. http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/1521/cat/14 Stunning at all apertures, but optically perfect at F5.6. F4 probably indistinguishable to the eye from F5.6, and F2.8 amazing.
Review (very positive):

If you ask me, I want few things in such lens.
F1.4, manual focus ring option, and OIS.
Otherwise, Samyang will do fine, it just don't have AF.
