Yes, it's a very good lens and can do macro, which I don't think the Samyang 135mm can. Images are sharp, good colors, good contrast.
My only quibble about the DFA 100 is that it's prone to purple fringing at high contrast transitions. In practice, that fringing only shows up when aimed upwards: backlit tree branches against a bright sky, and night sky stars with the astrotracer. LR or other processing software can lessen the fringing.
