Review on 📸 Enhance Your Nikon Digital SLR Camera with the Rokinon 135mm F2.0 ED UMC Telephoto Lens by Mona Kohkayne

This is a surprisingly affordable lens for its performance. Astrophotographers love it and it's easy to see why on Astrobin. Its telephoto and portrait capabilities are great too. This review is really about the electronic mount option. The A7 (and especially my recently purchased a7ii) is way too heavy for a camera IMO. The A7ii is also one of Sony's heaviest mirrorless cameras. It's doable by hand, with manual assist, lens correction, and focusing. It's actually quite workable, especially when shooting in a burst, as the plane of focus shifts a bit between frames, and that way you can get the best shot in the burst. But any vertical movement, especially astrophotography on a tripod, requires a lot more support and requires a separate lens sleeve (several third-party options available here) to support the lens flange near the E-mount, especially when shooting straight up (and I would say that you need a stable common mount for the camera and lens here). For my taste, the probability of damage from bending is too high. I didn't even have to try it, it just felt like it. So all my shots were hand made. For astrophotography on a budget I would go with a Canon or Nikon mount. Otherwise take a Sony lens. Yes, Sony lenses are more expensive, especially the G 135mm series, but I think it's better to use a Sony lens for the A7 series cameras, especially since they offer autofocus. So it depends on what you need it for and of course your budget. For me this is a comeback.
