Verdict
Pick the Laowa 105mm f/2 if you need the extra reach and a smooth STF bokeh effect at a constant price. The Samyang 85mm f/1.4 stays the better choice if you prioritize a brighter maximum aperture for low-light shooting or shallower depth of field. Choose based on focal length preference and aperture needs, as both share the same used price.
