Finally dug the Rokinon 85mm F1.4 out. I found some tiny fungus in this lens while examining it to be sold. Does not seem to bother the image quality any.

F1.4 ISO 4000 on the K-1

it is a solid lens; I remember selling mine, along with a Zeiss Planar 85/1.4, to fund the SMC A* 85/1.4 I have now....

I agree the lens is definitely built well and the manual focus has a nice feel to it. Since I have the FA 77 now I was going to sell this one. No need for two lens that close in focal length, Now that I found the fungus I will most likely hang on it. I always wanted and longed for that A*85 and the A*50 1.2 back in the 90's. I never could get one back then. The closest I came was my M85 F2. That was a great little lens. I kind of wish I still had it. Back then I sold most of my M and K lens to get the A lenses when I got my Super Program.

Here are a couple of more with the Rokinon 85mm F1.4 on the K-1.

When DFA 21mm and Sigma 35mm 1,4 are too "big/heavy", DA 35mm wonder plastic and DA* 21mm in square mode are the perfect companions for my K1
