NIce shots with Rokinon 14 mikeodial!

here is some from my Samyang 14.

You see that I have 12 mm in exif. some one said that it works better that using 15 mm in SR. I agree.

"Warrior Angel" at the Montana Veterans Memorial 14/2.8 @ 5.6 I think my first post in this thread, although I also have a 8mm and 85mm samyang

Taken in a disused tunnel in Clinton, MA with the Roki 14mm. I really like the rendition on this lens. The one shot taken deep in the tunnel was very high ISO, so don't blame the Roki for the graininess.

That first shot is a great image of urban decay.

little snook with SamYang 16mm

oscaletrains · 09-15-2014, 06:56 AM

I was having so much fun with the 7mm fisheye Samyang that I grabbed a 16F2 from them as well. The 7mm is an easy lens, not much focus necessary for most shots, but the 16mm is turning out to be a focusing issue for me. It's like I can swing from out of focus one way to out of focus the other but there is a fairly large arc "in between" those points that "looks" in focus but sometimes turns out not to be when I blow up the photo. So what focusing screen has anyone found that works best with this lens? Or am I missing something here?

With wide lenses, zone focus is your friend - estimate the distance using the focus scale. Alternatively, using Live View + Magnification is also helpful for nailing focus.

Great shots, everyone! I love seeing what these Samyang lenses can do!

I hate guessing.

I have the Katz Eye + central focus point position + separate AF button 'enabled': I then check the red light AF confirmation/green hexa
and that works fine with me...The Live View is an extra control

next to that the distance scale of the SamYangs can be calibrated
