I plan to buy a 85mm Manual Focus. Please help me decide. Price is moreover same between Takumar and Rokinon while Jupiter-9 is dirt cheap.
Takumar 1.9 @~$250 shipped
Rokinon/Samyang/Bower 1.4 @$250+shipping
Jupiter-9 @ $120-$140 shipped
What's your opinion on all these lenses. I heard great stuff about Jupiter-9 but at the same time observation varies between various batches. So that would be my last choice unless the IQ/bokeh is significantly better than rest of the two.
Also, I heard that Rokinon/Samyang/Bower is auto aperture (can someone confirm), so that is an added advantage.
Thanks
