Beautiful manual lens, sharp with a magical bokeh. Makes shooting a portrait a dream. Seriously very happy with it and especially for the price.

I have a mirrorless camera, Sony a6000 with lens 16mm-50mm, and I want a new telephoto lens. The Rokinon 85mm f/1.8 is a good upgrade from the Sony lens 16-50mm. I don't recommend it for beginners, since you have to focus manually with your hand for different distance and f-stop. This lens does take better picture than the lens came with my mirrorless camera. Also this lens is heavier than the Sony a6000 16mm-50mm, but I adjusted quickly to it. This lens fit my budget, and I still a novice to photography. I just finished my first digital photography class.

Very nice manual focus lens - good fit & feel. Fits nicely on larger Fuji cameras

I have been waiting for a tele lens like this, which I can take along for hiking in the backcountry and traveling lightly. Combined with my mirrorless Sony a6300 it makes a compact unit, without compromising on performance. This lens replaces my aging tele-zoom (Sony 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3) which is much slower and becomes rather soft approaching the limits of the zoom range. (It also developed a haze below the front lens.) The wide f/1.8 aperture of the Rokinon is great for working in low light and for generating bokeh (see the attached photo, taken at f/2.8). It also compensates for the lack of image stabilization. Already at f/2.8 the lens is so sharp that the photos can safely be cropped to double the effective focal length. Wide open there is substantial light fall-off in the corners, but at f/2.8 the fall-off becomes insignificant. It would be nice to have autofocus for action shots, but for landscapes, stills, and astrophotography the focus peaking of the a6300 actually allows better control. Overall, I can highly recommend this lens.

Optically, the Rokinon 85mm F1.8 is constructed of 9 elements in 7 groups and features a High-Refractive Index element and an Extra-low Dispersion element. Additionally, it uses UMC ultra multi-coating to help minimize chromatic aberrations and unnecessary light dispersion. Intuitive, damped and precise manual focus control combine with its fast 1.8 aperture and rounded 9 blade diaphragm for exceptional low light, bokeh and selective focus capabilities.
The compact and light-weight design of this fast telephoto o ers excellent portability and comfort that is perfect for travel, candid, portraits, and close up photography with mirrorless cameras. Additional features include a non-rotating 62mm lter mount, a reversible for storage lens hood and a soft pouch case.
