Verdict
Pick the Samyang 35mm f/1.4 if you need a wider field of view and slightly brighter aperture for low-light or shallow depth-of-field shots. The Nikon 50mm f/1.8G stays the better choice if you prefer a tighter, portrait-friendly focal length or want to save a few euros. Both are primes, so your decision hinges on framing preference and aperture priority.
