It definitely has good reviews
I found one on Gumtree for $399 from Brisbane. Brand new the price is a bit more, but it seems hard to find them.

They both seem to be similar in price, the Samyang being maybe $50 cheaper from what I have seen. I'm no doubt going to have to save, but I don't want to pay $1000 if I can get something just as good for $500!

Billi, Did you get the PDF i emailed you?

I did
it was quite interesting. Anything faster than f/3 is what I'm looking for. My derpy lense doesn't want to go lower than f/5, but I haven't tried it out so I don't know how bad it is.
*so I just fiddled with the manual settings again and it went down to f/3.5. I honestly have no idea why
