Rokinon (Samyang) 85/1.4
Playing with the Rokinon (Samyang) 85mm f/1.4
A very decent lens, very cheap but "very" manual

Re: Rokinon (Samyang) 85/1.4
Very nice shots, Doc.
My personal favorites are the second image and the last one, although it seems to me that the last one would have been even better with a little more space above the bird's head.
With best wishes,

Hi Dr. Harout. : )
Congratulations, the lens is wonderful, although manual.
I truly enjoyed the amount of sharp details and the subjects. The subjects are very entertaining! : )) Love the bear that's resting its feet on the wall and sunning him / herself.
And .. the birds of prey look wonderful; amazing contrast and colour combination.
I agree with Tom that the last bird needs its headspace.
Thanks for the info and photo-sharing.

Thanks Yildiz and Tom. I agree with you concerning the last photo.
Re: Rokinon (Samyang) 85/1.4
Very nice shots Doc - you seem to be coping with the MF holds very well . It will be interesting to see how the new Sony 85 and this lens compare.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

I like the look of this lens, the optics look good and it's fast..oh and the price is hard to argue with as well!

Re: Rokinon (Samyang) 85/1.4
I'm going to chip this lens. I guess it's a must.

Re: Rokinon (Samyang) 85/1.4
Samyang announced at Photokina that they were chipping one of their Nikon lenses. So hopefully they will get around to making this a standard feature over the next few months.
