Good telephoto lens for the Budget

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.

Great lens to take along anywhere

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.

Rokinon has announced its new Digital Photo 85mm F1.8 Compact Prime Lens, the 7th in its compact lens series. The new 85mm is sized and optically designed speci cally for mirrorless cameras to deliver high resolution performance from the center of the image to its corners.

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.
