[winx14]

Starting to like this lens. A bit heavy, but it feels good when using manual focus.

I took my son to Winslow Farm in Norton, MA this past Sunday. I decided to use the Rokinon lens exclusively. The entire album is available here: https://picasaweb.google.com/114357622835968962189/WinslowFarm562012#. Here are a few samples from it:

Great set of pictures in your Picasa. The first sample you showed above is really excellent!

Some camera porn please?
I would love to see that lens on your camera.

Thanks, Amin! It's always a challenge to get a natural smile out of my son, so I'm especially happy with that picture.

I don't have any pictures like that right now, but I'll see what I can come up with. If I'm feeling especially motivated, I'll even mount it on my fiancee's Canon 450D for the sake of comparison.

Got this lens on EOS mount, so I can use it both on the NEX and E-PL3. I found that the NEX is perfect for manual focus, but the E-PL3 is not bad either

All @ f/1.4

I liked the lens very much but it was tad too long for my taste. Here's a few samples for the thread I shot before selling it..

It is a little long for everyday use, but I think I have a few scenarios where the lens is perfect. For its quality it is relatively cheap enough for me to keep for just when those instances come up.

I agree. I'll probably have another one day. Right now the budget is over strained with items that I deem as necessities. Maybe by then Samyang will have a native m43 version. Tiny like the 7.5mm redo.

RE Rok 85 f1.4 street theatre pix...

Wow, Love your style and timing. I have just bought the Rokinon 85mm f1.4 to use for similar situations [mostly rock concerts] and am inspired by your "closeness' to the action with this optic. Congratulations. You really understand your gear.

I used to put this lens on Olympus 4/3 cameras, and planned to sell it when I switched to m4/3. But after seeing the results such as in the following pictures, I might reconsider...

Actually sold my Samyang 85/1.4 because I thought it somewhat heavy but also because I bought a Tamron 90/2.5 that could act as both tele and macro. But, I sometimes miss the this lens.
