Some images taken with the first lens I got, all taken at f1.4.

Folks should check out what some Nikonians are doing with this lens in this thread.

Pentax output should look even better!

Being less than rich... is less than great!

Who ever got this one... please post some wonderful photos from it so I can really feel like I missed out!

I would kill for ANY 85 1.4, but this one especially hurts.

I've got this annoying neighbor and I can get you an 85 f1.4, what color do you want it in?

Why so melodramatic when you can still find this on fleabay as a "Rokinon"? Not much of a difference unless you're stuck on the Vivitar branding.

You should really use PM's for your hits.

Correction: Even the Vivitar brands can easily be bought. However, the Vivitar costs more than the others, and I chose to pay the extra for the cosmetic 'improvements'. I personally think it is a better choice.....

Lens SOLD.
