Verdict
Pick the Nikon 85mm f/1.8D if you need a fast, short-telephoto prime for portraits or low-light work and want slightly brighter maximum aperture for 3 EUR more. Choose the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 if ultra-wide-angle coverage is your priority and you can accept a one-stop slower aperture at a nearly identical price.
