Originally posted by zbrueningsen I loved the Rokinon 85 1.4. I accept what it was for and what it was good at. My copy was accurate focus, and produced very stunning portraits. The reality of that lens: it is an extremely good optic without great coatings and isn't really smooth manual focus. Overall, it is a terrific product for portraits. The Pentax one has the A so it has auto aperture, which is good for manual lenses.
A note for clarity: Samyang/Rokinon lenses in Pentax mount also have the A setting for auto aperture, despite stock product photos oftentimes not showing it (because usually they're just using the photo of the Canon or Nikon mount version which would not have the A setting).
