    57 customers mention22 positive35 negative

    Customers are mixed about the fit of the camera lens. Some mention that it fits perfectly on their Nikon D5100, while others say that it doesn't fit perfect. The lens hood is loose fit and will not stay on, and the nice bag they send you is too small for the lens Hood.

    "...85mm MFT is about 170mm Fullframe and the FOV is too narrow for portraits. This is good for shooting subjects further away...." Read more

    "...Rather, it appears small and very tasteful. And honestly, I don't care if people know it's a third-party lens...." Read more

    A FIVE STAR Across the Board Lens!
    5 Stars
    A FIVE STAR Across the Board Lens!
    I first heard about this lens while browsing/reading Ken Rockwells site. He thought it was an excellent lens for the price. I was in the market for a 85 F1.4 or F1.8 and looked at both Nikon models. However, since I knew I would only use this lens for shooting portraits at a wedding here or there, and photos of my new grandson, the price tag of the Nikon 85 F1.4 was way to much to justify; and I didn't like the bokeh of the F1.8. So, I read some of the reviews here on Amazon on the Rokinon 85 F1.4 and ordered it. Immediately after ordering it, I got cold feet as I read through ALL the reviews. Amazingly, by the time I decided to go back and cancel the order, it had shipped! Gotta hand it to these folks. I ordered it on Tuesday, and have it in my hands, today, Friday. Anyway I figured I could always send it back... However, it's NOT going back! I'm blown away by the bokeh as well as the clarity and sharpness of the 85 F1.4 on my D700, and quite frankly the ease of focusing! I was so taken aback by the sharpness at F1.4 and F2.0 I haven't even bothered to stop it down further! My biggest fear was focusing with my bad eyesight, coupled with the fact I haven't used a manual focus lens in over twenty years. This chipped Nikon version btw allows full shutter speed and aperture control. Not only that, but someone mentioned the exif data showed a 50mm, mines shows 85 so it seems that problem has also been resolved.After using it for only a 1/2 hour in the waning afternoon light, out on my deck after opening the lens box, I'm a tad worried about focusing. The focus ring is large, tight, and butter-smooth. Upon coming back into the house, I pulled the lens shade out of the box, and put it on the lens. I find it much more secure than the really crappy one that came with my Nikon 16-35F4VR that I lost in the first hour I used it! This one actually clicks in place. Now the lens cap is a different story. It stinks. I immediately put an old 72mm Nikon lens cap I had laying around on the lens, and I can now place, and remove the lenscap with the hood on.I'd like to point something out here: Reading the reviews on Amazon I found that many of the complaints about focusing are coming from users of the D3100, 5100, and 7000. Plus the gaggle of Canon users. All great cameras, but they are DX formats. This means with the crop factor of 1.5 for the Nikons, it makes this 85mm a tough to focus (IMHO), 128mm lens, especially handheld, or a 136mm on the Canons @ 1.6x crop factor. Couple the manual focus with the crop factor, plus a wide aperture and I can see where some folks may experience focusing problems. On my D700 FX body, 85mm = 85mm. And I have to say the focusing does take getting used to but it seems much easier to do so on a FX camera body. I'm going to try this on my D300 over the weekend and update here when I get a chance.The lens also seems to be well balanced on the D700; if I add the battery pack to the D700, the feel and balance would be even better.Here, I've added several images of my dog on the deck, a plant, and a citronella holder with the autumn trees in the background; the bokeh, color, and sharpness are incredible! These were all shot at F1.4. I only had a chance to shoot about 25 images before it got dark, but got about nine or ten pretty decent images. Not too bad considering I haven't used a manual focus in like 20+ years. I posted the first image I shot after taking my 24-70 F2.8 off and walking out on the deck letting my dog out, quite honestly the first one came out pretty bad, plus a few others as I became more acclimated to the manual focus. Let me know what you think. Most likely my images won't appear in order so I've labeled them SHOT 1, 2, so on so you can see my progression with my first twenty-five shots or so.Updated: 10/22/2011 (The day after above was written). I took the camera with the 85mm F1.4 out back again this morning. Shot another twenty or so images. Still loving it. No faults. I did find myself first focusing myself, just using the huge D700 finder and my crappy, glass wearing eyes, and then, just to confirm I was in the ballpark, using the little green focus confirm dot in the viewfinder and doing some fine-tuning at that point. Haven't tried live view yet. I may soon.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un excelente lente, super nitidido
    Reviewed in Mexico on June 16, 2020
    Adquirí este lente como un punto intermedio, dado que el presupuesto no era suficiente para adquirir el SIGMA de la linea ART, opté por este lente con mis reservas.
    Me encuentro sumamente sorprendido por la calidad del lente en todos sus aspectos, trataré de resumir los puntos de la siguiente manera: PRO's: 1. Su construcción es robusta, de excelentes materiales, se nota la calidad en el cuerpo del lente. 2. La imagen es super nítida, me sorprende la nitidez que tiene disparando a f1.2-1.8,ni se diga con el diafragma más cerrado. 3. La relación calidad y precio del lente me parece excelente, es una super opción para el rango intermedio de un 85mm. 4. Los detalles están bastante cuidados, el empaque por su exterior parece un tanto sencillo, pero el lente viene perfectamente cuidado con unos soportes plásticos que amortiguan los golpes, así como el instructivo y demás accesorios, me parecen cuidados! Bien ahí! CONTRAS: 1. Por la construcción del lente, resulta sumamente pesado, lo utilizo montado en el cuerpo de mi CANON 5D MARK III y bueno, en total debo llevar unos 3-4 kilos en la mano, cansa. 2. No se si definirlo como un punto negativo, pero si es algo a considerar, el lente es de enfoque manual, por lo que se requiere tacto y destreza para conseguir el enfoque en los puntos que nos interesa, sobre todo con aperturas de diafragma muy abierto, sin embargo, si adquieres la versión con el chip AE, la cosa cambia, porque podremos utilizar los puntos de enfoque de nuestra cámara para obtener una confirmación del foco en el visor, y por consiguiente tener mucho mas control de ello. SE LOS RECOMIENDO MUCHISIMO EN ESTA VERSION. Les dejo tres imagines de muestra utilizando diferentes aperturas y podemos comprobar la nitidez del lente. En conclusión, si quieres un lente de gama media, sin duda alguna, este Rokinon, es la mejor alternativa.
