Hi J,
That lens is best used around f/4- f/5.6, but probably OK down to f/2 to f/2.8. An aperture of f/1.4 is too wide open for that lens (and most others) without significant image penalties. If you have the non-autofocus version then look to these data as the justification for this:

Bear in mind however; the Samyang 35mm f/1.4 is a full-Frame lens and you are using it on the APS-c sensor of the Sony A77. It behaves like a 50mm f/2 in that respect. The APS-c sensor doesn't see all of the full frame image circle and as a result the image quality may not be as degraded at f/1.4 as it would be on a full frame camera. Of course the light collection would be doubled on fullframe and hence the noise less but, you're not concerned of that here.
Best
