## Description

Product Description The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Manual Focus Lens for Canon is an ultra-bright lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4. Although you can only use this lens in manual focus mode, it is fully compatible with the automated features available with digital SLR cameras. It is compact and lightweight, and offers the ideal focal length and bright aperture for use as a portrait lens. From the Manufacturer The Rokinon 85mm F1.4 Aspherical Lens is razor sharp and crystal clear for photo and video. It is widely used as a portrait lens to shoot ultra-bright & vivid portrait pictures. Rokinon’s 85mm lens stacks up extremely well against the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 and against the Nikon 85mm f/1.4. It is also the least expensive lens of its kind in the market! The lens is manual focus and the aperture needs to be controlled directly from the lens, but at a cost of less than $300, how can you go wrong? The Rokinon 85mm lens is made with mostly glass and aluminum components and the build quality is superb. Its focusing is silky smooth with an internal focusing (IF) mechanism so that the physical size remains constant during focusing. There are little or no chromatic aberrations and Bokeh is just about perfect. The lens comes complete with a removable lens hood, lens caps, lens pouch, instruction manual and one year warranty. The lens is available in the following mounts: Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony & Olympus 4/3. There is also a slightly more expensive version (Model # 85MAF-N) for Nikon that features a built-in focus confirm chip. See the uploaded video that was taken with this lens. Below are detailed specifications and some sample photos taken with this lens.

Review: Initial impressions - very happy - 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 desertcart 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.
Review: A good time - I have a Samsung Nx1, amazing software packed in, the autofocus in full burst mode is awesome. Loads of great tech for the price and a good effort from Samsung in the mirrorless market. I have the 16-50 S lens, brilliant lens, super fast focusing, love the iFunction button on the barrel that allows me to change setting on the fly without having to look away from my subject (usually horses or mountain bikes). Just to reiterate: Samsung, bought the camera to take advantage of the tech and the software in the lenses, the autofocus speed. I wanted to add the 85mm NX glass to my collection for portraits of the horse and rider and to be able to get back a bit from the action. Couldn't justify the cost, yes, the autofocus, yes the automatic aperture, yes the logic. What did I do? I spent $269 on a dumb lens...no electronic gizmos, no firmware/software updates, no contacts of any sort. I've never used a manual lens before. Let alone a prime. I also have no regrets. I've had more fun with this lens in the last month than the rest of the lenses since August. Granted, if I need to nail that shot of the horse jumping, I'll use the S lens and let it do it's thing, it's quite good at it. But it also feels like cheating. You're just looking through the viewfinder and pressing the button, no worries about if the rider is in focus, or the horse's feet are sharp, if the image will be properly exposed, if the depth of field is right. You know it will be barring some sort of error on the users part. Enter the Rokinon. The finish is quite nice. Almost a pebbled painted metal barrel. Clearly marked aperture values, along with a rough distance scale. The aperture ring stops up and down with a satisfying click. The focus ring is massive, rubberized, and almost as smooth as the bokeh this thing produces. My only gripe with the focus is that it needs a tiny bit more throw past negative to really sharpen up landcape shots. The storage bag Rokinon provides with the lens is more or less a joke, the lens cap falls off if you glance at it wrong, it has no form of stabilisation and the lens hood seems perpetually in danger of falling off. Doesn't matter, for this price, you get a lens that can throw it's weight around with the same lenses offered by Nikanon. The quality of the lens itself is great. And, in conclusion, there's just something gratifying to nail that perfect shot and have everything in focus, the ISO is right, and the background is appropriately blurred. To know that you did that on the fly with nothing more than your gut to go on. If you're reading this, and you've never shot with manual glass before, take the plunge. This lens is an inexpensive route to 'test the water's and see if it's for you. Being a prime it also forces you to consider framing, perspective, and where you need to be to shoot more so than a zoom.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The second copy is perfect
*by P***R on May 20, 2012*

Feb 7 2013 update: I gave this lens another chance. Bought it from Amazon and was delivered today. This time the lens was sharp wide open. I am now totally convinced that I had a bad copy last time. The performance is similar to what I would expect from users' comments. I am using it with a Pentax K-01. The focus peaking feature made focusing so easy. My K-01 is my studio camera. Perfect combination. I doubt I would use it frequently with my K-5. Original: I read a lot before placing the order. I have high expectation since the Samyang 14mm f2.8 is such a great performer. Construction is great. It is substantial. Unlike the Samyang 14mm which has a very tight lens mount, this lens has a solid but smooth lens mount. So, mechanically, it is of very high quality. However, that hope of great optical quality quickly disappeared. I compared this lens to a Tamron 70-200 @ 85mm. This 85mm @ f2.8 is no better than the Tamron @ 85mm and f2.8 wide open. If anything, the Tamron @ wide open may be slightly better than this 85mm stopped down. At f1.4, the 85mm is extremely soft. I may have a bad copy but the performance is consistent with review at Lenstip. I did the optical performance comparison using LV to ensure proper focus was achieved. When I tried to do MF, I had zero luck, not even close. And, btw, I have quite a few MF lenses - 14mm, 28mm, 50mm, 55mm, 135mm; so I am not exactly new to MF. I am disappointed. It also means that I have to save up a lot more for a better 85mm.
