Sorry I, got a bit confused. Thought of my MX I guess, as I really look forward to use my new Samyang on it, when the MX has all of its seals replaced.

Originally posted by stevebrot The focus ring works great, but everything in the viewfinder is so silly small on a film camera such even the focus aids have difficulty at distances greater than a few meters.

FWIW...that is just how things are with ultra-wides.

Thank you Steve for the explanation!
I might ad, that even focusing in liveview with the focusing aid is very difficult, as long as you do not use the magnifier.
Best solution is to focus as best as you can and then close the aperture down to 5.6 or 8.0.
