Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Series II Lens for Canon EF

I paired this lens with a Nikon D750. I have to say, right out of the gate I am impressed. I've had a couple of days to play with it and I am really starting to get comfortable with it. I find the aperture ring to be a bit fiddly, it's easy to accidentally bump it and change the setting even though it's set to Click. Maybe that's just me and my fat hands. In any case, I try to be mindful of it and haven't had any real issues. As a small business owner, I use my cameras for product photography as well as for personal use. This lens is definitely going to get used heavily for product photography. Just fooling around in my home, I have been blown away at how great the images look straight out of the camera. This is my first Rokinon lens, but I already know it won't be my last.

This is a very nice lens. It is a medium length telephoto lens when paired with an APS-C sensor. It is the equivalent of an 127 mm lens in full frame. The images are sharp and background separation with a narrow depth of field at or near wide open is excellent. It is heavier than I expected and the mount adapter pushes the lens away from the camera by about an inch. This gives the setup a slightly front heavy feel. The mechanical aspects of the lens, focus ring and aperture ring, are just about perfect.. It is completely manual so experience with tools like focus peaking is important. All in all, I am happy with the lens.
