Maybe a Rokinson 14mm lens purchase in the future

Freelance....I have the Nikon 14-24G adapted with a 16-9.net adapter(made by Novoflex), and I absolutely love it...except you can't use filters, and it is quite heavy and big. but, the image quality cannot be disputed! I use it on a 1.3x, and travel with it everywhere(Italy last year, Kauai this year), and I specifically use it for landscape HDR's. Even, though this lens is stellar, I find myself looking at the Rokinon 14 just because of the price!! I tried the Rokinon 35 1.4(check my threads) and found it a very capable lens...and now they just announced the 24 1.4, too...(after I just bought Roger Cicala's Lens Rentals used 24 1.4ll for a pretty good price, albeit with some wear and tear). I really want the 24 1.4 for low light and wide open shots to complement my Zeiss 35 1.4, so...I might check out the Rokinon 14 2.8, and bag out on the 14-24G(maybe!!)....we'll see.


If you are interested in seeing some HDR's taken with the 14-24G, I can post a few more for you, or I also have some engagement shots I used it for, too. Let me know..

When I was checking out adapters I saw that they were approx 79 to 150 dollars. That plus the nikon lens make it a pretty substantial investment. I've considered the nikon 14-24mm lens but that combo would always appear very strange to me every time I mated them together. If the Rokinson 14mm works out then problem solved. You don't run across many situations like this in life where you get a killer product verses money spent. The only other time that I have said wow on a product verses its low price is the 2009 and above remodeled Ninja 250cc motorcycles. What a great little motorcycle for 3,800 dollars in 2009.


For me to get the Roki 24mm or 35mm 1.4 lens I'd have to have auto focus as that's when I would be tracking more moving subjects. I'm not skilled at manual focus unless everything is still and I have live view open.


Greggf, I would like to see some of your images. Provide a link and I will check them out.
