My favorite lens is the best of the lenses

From Rokinon's 'Trinity' (24, 35 and 85 T1.5) this is my favorite lens for a number of reasons. First, it's the widest, which makes it apt to create more composition in your image. Because it's wider, you'll shake less, so it's best for all kinds of crafts. I have quite a few lenses of the same focal length but this one beats them all. For example, I have a 30mm Sigma DN lens, which is a great compact lens to take with you. It offers smooth and quiet autofocus on my Sony NEX. It's 2.8 and that's fine, I'd probably use this Rokinon at 2.8 for the best results. This lens has a piece of glass the size of a keyhole. This lens has a huge piece of front glass. With Sigma I have to keep the distance between the camera and the subject. With this Rokinon Cine I can almost touch the subject and cinematic blur is just not possible. Oh, and it looks really cool on your camera!
