If you need AF, then yes, as stated above by others, it is an affordable good lens. If, on the other hand, you don't need AF, or would like to try MF, then I would highly recommend the...
I was thinking about you when I got this lens Denise...and all the problems you had with it(you went through 2 copies, right??). I remember using the Sigma when I rented it from lensrentals.com last...
Hey William...I am pretty impressed with it so far, I have to say. It does have some pretty good CA wide open in high contrast(but so does my Zeiss ZE 35 1.4, too!!) I'm not used to the focal length,...
I received the Rokinon yesterday from Amazon, via UPS(heh,heh...), and did some initial shooting with it. First impressions are pretty high, and I really like the lens so far. It is MUCH smaller than...
Here is a photo just taken yesterday with the new Rokinon 85 1.4...I did a little PP on he image to get it like this...

Hey William...I know you and I go back in forth over photos!! But....I have definitely gone in reverse...really, really fast after seeing these photos!! I have something to aspire to now!! Absolutely...
Okay...I just got the Rokinon 85 1.4 yesterday. I've played around with it a little while delivering(on my lunch), and my first impressions were really good. It is fairly small, maybe the size of the...
Very cool car shot Denise! I like the driftwood shot, too, Lancer!
Joel, I agree with William...maybe bring the crop in a bit tighter...just my opinion, too. It is a great shot, though..

Matej and William...great shots. William, looks like you're playing around with your BW's now!! Careful, it's addictive!! Here's a small one shot yesterday with the Zeiss ZE 35 1.4@1.8...

Ok William...now in my opinion, that conversion ROCKS!! That is what a BW should look like!! Good job!! Very Nice./..

I think right now, having rented the Sigma previously, that I really liked it. And I have used the 85L, too. But, after my recent experience with the Rokinon 35 1.4, I will now be trying the...
Fantastic shot , William. I really like it. Can I offer up a suggestion, though? Take this photo,as an HDR, and import it into either LR or PS, and convert to BW...then play with the color...
John, you really should try HDR Efex from Nik software. It is what I use. You can get the very normal looking hdr, or you can tweak to your hearts content, and go wild!! Try the 15 day trial version,...
wow...now that's what I'm talking about. You guys make my attempts look really meager!!! I will have to try harder next time!!
Gregg
That's an great shot Brian. Really really sharp, too. I looked at your family shots on your Smugmug site..great family shots. It is an awesome time. Our second son, Giovanni Sebastian, is expected...
Hey Rocco...I'm not sure about technique, but I do know it takes a really good lens at infinity, and it helps to have a fast one , too. Here are a couple examples I took while in Yosemite. Actually...
William, thekingb, Richard, and Jayson...thank you for the kind words. It is a great time right now, and I'm glad I am able to record all of it for him(and US!!) Mason is pretty fearless, and is all...
Steve, William, and Rocco...
Thank you for the comments and checking out my galleries!! Here is another one of Mason, just before he turned 4. This was taken in Yosemite at Mirror Lake. Many...
Holy cow!! Mason just had his 4th birthday today!! I really can't believe it...time is really flying! Here are a few pictures, and a link to the whole series at Picasaweb for anybody interested. All...
Whoops....let me look at that again!! Then you succeeded as a photographer...great shot!
Steve...Awesome shot...yes the colors and contrast of this lens are very hard to beat!! It gives my 50L a run for it's money in that category, too!!! Glad to see you're contributing....let's keep it...
w349...WOW...thank you for the comment!! I exported the photo from LR3.4 into CS5...did my usual post to it in color, then decided to do BW on it, so I copied the image via CS5. But in doing the copy...
Great HDR's...Love the Vegas shot!
Belger..I really like your HDR...the smoke gives it a surreal look, while the truck makes it look really modern. Very cool!
Joel... I thought you had the 300 2.8...very nice!! One of my customers has the 200 2.0 that he said he'll let me borrow...been jonesin' pretty bad for it, too!!
Joel...that's an awfully long...
