Any one have any info on this lens. .ROKINON MC 24mm F2.8 lens for PENTAX PK

Looking at this or an old sigma 24mm super wide for a carryaround for my k01

Is that the Rokinon tilt/shift lens? Doesn't appear to be as it is f2.8. The 24mm tilt/shift is a neat lens.

Do you mean this one? I think its okay if you get it real cheap. With vintage lenses, you usually buy whatever is available in good condition for a fair price, at a place near you.

Yes. .. This one, not the tilt shift.

I got this lens recently. It's a rebadged Tokina RMC.

Not a bad lens, but I expected a little bit more... still, considering I paid 50 dollars for it (due to a small scratch on the front element), I'm not complaining, it has a nice look to it. It never really gets super sharp even at f8, but it's got nice colors and contrast. Bokeh is also nicer than I expected. I'm still getting used to focusing with it - it's quite harder than my 28mm lenses. And flare is definitely a problem decreasing both contrast and resolution quite a bit.

Both of these were shot wide open:
