  • Still a good looking shot :)

  • Funny. I like the part of the flare test. Even though the screen is showing obvious flare and color shift with the Zeiss, he still says, "Wow, no shift!" Priceless. I had to watch it again because I thought i might have blacked out when he said it :)

  • The Rokinon flared purple while the Zeiss CP.2 just hazed the lens. Big difference. You can get off the floor now :) I love the Rokinon 85 and 35mm lenses. They look great. I shot two spots this week and used both a lot.

    The most compelling reasons to buy the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 AS IF UMC M4/3 lens are its affordable price tag and the fact that it is the fastest medium-telephoto lens on the market for M4/3 cameras. It's also the fastest medium-telephoto prime lens for Sony's E-mount and Fujifilm's X-mount cameras.

  • I got the 85mm (non-cine) for my a7s, love the image it gives considering what it costs. Lovely micro contrast, neutral coating and a little soft at f1,4 (gone by f2) which is really nice for portraits. But 3 things:

    1. It's too bad there is no stabilization, I need at least 1/200 shutter to get a sharp image handheld when taking photos. Good that the ISO performance is so good on the a7s.

    2. No autofocus. Never used when filming, but it's hard to nail focus if you wanna catch a portrait on the go.

    3. Close focus is only 1m (3,3'). You don't need to get closer with portraits, but sometimes I feel the urge to go macro but... just forget it.

    I can't really complain with the price. I'd say this is the Blackmagic of lenses. Amazing quality but without nice features (that really isn't needed) stripped away to get great prices. All and all, I'm happy.

  • ROKINON is proud to announce its new 14mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.4 full frame lenses built for the Canon EOS R mirrorless system.

    This ultra wide-angle and fast telephoto are the first 14mm and 85mm prime lenses with precision manual focus control to be available in Canon RF mount.

    Both lenses sport a new exterior design with a contemporary look that matches and handles well with Canon’s new full-frame mirrorless cameras.

    Each lens offers a metal chassis, weather sealing, a metal aperture control with a slip-resistant matte finish, and Ultra Multi-Coating.

    The new ROKINON 14mm f/2.8 Canon RF mount ultra wide-angle lens provides a dramatic rectilinear 115.7° view that can focus as close as 11inches and is perfect for astrophotography, landscapes, extreme sports, interiors, and real estate imagery.

    Its advanced 14 element-10 group design utilizes four highly specialized element types [High Refractive Index, Hybrid Aspherical, Aspherical and Extra-Low Dispersion] to produce sharply defined images with minimal distortion and chromatic aberrations.

    Features include a built-in petal shaped lens hood and a rear gelatin filter holder.

    The new ROKINON 85mm F/1.4 Canon RF mount telephoto lens offers a very fast f/1.4 maximum aperture for effective low light shooting, fast shutter speed capture, and precise selective focus control.

    Its optical design consists of 9 elements in 7 groups including one Hybrid-Aspherical element to reduce chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and sharpness.

    Features include a removable lens hood, a curved blade diaphragm for pleasing bokeh, and a non-rotating 72mm filter mount for easy use of polarizing and other filters that require precise positioning.

    This ROKINON short telephoto for Canon RF mount makes it a highly effective optic for travel, candid, portrait, and close up photography.

    These first two ROKINON full frame lenses designed for Canon RF mount will be available in April from authorized ROKINON dealers.
