Rokinon 85M-E 85 mm F1.4 Fixed Lens For Sony, E-Mount And For Other Cameras, Black

Yes it is heavy, yes it is manual but the picture quality is just as good fuji lenses at a third or more off fuji prices. I think I got mine for around $160 from amazon so what not to like… auto focus people please do not buy

i like it but its not clean from inside , you need to clean it again before you use it

I got it at a very unbelievable price! Too front heavy for my X-t20... But sharp lens at f2 onwards. Manual focusing can be wobbly due to higher magfications... Not the lens fault... But just a note.

Update 8/7/2011 - I am still pleased with lens. When I get focus right it is by far the sharpest lens I own (granted I don't have any pro lenses). I wanted to update this to make it clear to Nikon shooters that EXCEPT FOR MANUAL FOCUS This lens works PERFECTLY in P, A, S, and M modes. In these modes my D5000 WORKS JUST LIKE IT DOES WITH MY NIKON LENS. THE CAMERA ADJUSTS (DEPENDING ON THE MODE OF COURSE) APERTURE, SHUTTER SPEED, AND ISO AUTOMATICALLY BASED ON AVAILABLE LIGHT ETC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ADJUST THE APERTURE MANUALLY AS THE SPECIFICATION ON THE AMAZON PAGE (OR ROKINON WEBSITE FOR THAT MATTER) IMPLIES. The only thing I have noticed so far that doesn't work is 3D focus (probably dynamic area either) but, after thinking about it that doesn't surprise me. If you set for spot focus and turn on the rangefinder the camera tells you when it's in focus just like with Nikon lenses. Ok, I only received this lens today and have played with it for an hour or so. So far it is living up to all the reviews. If you're reading this review you probably already have an idea of how to use this type of lens but, just in case I bought it specifically for wide open short depth of field images. Portraits, flowers etc. anything that isn't moving to fast for manual focus where you want to play with depth of field. This chipped version seems to meter and focus on my D5000. I get a focus confirmation light and speed adjusts with aperture. Aperture adjusts with thumbwheel in A-mode. Depth of field (or lack of) is very fun at f/1.4. Have taken some very neat pictures handheld wide open. Background disappears to a blur in the right ranges. Appears very sharp. It is difficult to focus well on small objects handheld but, with practice I think I can improve with technique. Right now my initial impression is WOW! I'll update if anything changes. p.s. I am just an amateur so, take this review in that context. 5 stars because it is exactly what is advertised. Manual focus, sharp, chipped for EXIF data, etc. Quality appears very good. All for a very reasonable price.

this is an epic lens.

No autofocus but for the price I paid it's no big deal. It has an "A" setting for its aperture control.

Adquirí este lente como un punto intermedio, dado que el presupuesto no era suficiente para adquirir el SIGMA de la linea ART, opté por este lente con mis reservas. Me encuentro sumamente sorprendido por la calidad del lente en todos sus aspectos, trataré de resumir los puntos de la siguiente manera: PRO's: 1. Su construcción es robusta, de excelentes materiales, se nota la calidad en el cuerpo del lente. 2. La imagen es super nítida, me sorprende la nitidez que tiene disparando a f1.2-1.8,ni se diga con el diafragma más cerrado. 3. La relación calidad y precio del lente me parece excelente, es una super opción para el rango intermedio de un 85mm. 4. Los detalles están bastante cuidados, el empaque por su exterior parece un tanto sencillo, pero el lente viene perfectamente cuidado con unos soportes plásticos que amortiguan los golpes, así como el instructivo y demás accesorios, me parecen cuidados! Bien ahí! CONTRAS: 1. Por la construcción del lente, resulta sumamente pesado, lo utilizo montado en el cuerpo de mi CANON 5D MARK III y bueno, en total debo llevar unos 3-4 kilos en la mano, cansa. 2. No se si definirlo como un punto negativo, pero si es algo a considerar, el lente es de enfoque manual, por lo que se requiere tacto y destreza para conseguir el enfoque en los puntos que nos interesa, sobre todo con aperturas de diafragma muy abierto, sin embargo, si adquieres la versión con el chip AE, la cosa cambia, porque podremos utilizar los puntos de enfoque de nuestra cámara para obtener una confirmación del foco en el visor, y por consiguiente tener mucho mas control de ello. SE LOS RECOMIENDO MUCHISIMO EN ESTA VERSION. Les dejo tres imagines de muestra utilizando diferentes aperturas y podemos comprobar la nitidez del lente. En conclusión, si quieres un lente de gama media, sin duda alguna, este Rokinon, es la mejor alternativa.
