wasn't happy with the picture. Deformed.

I was not satisfied with the image quality of the lens. It would occasionally deform simply by moving the camera. Not suitable for walking and photographing on a tripod to avoid distorted images I would like to replace it with another model I am mostly satisfied with the Rokinon too.

Pros
  • Declicked (Independent) and Geared Aperture and Focus; Minimum focusing distance: 7.87" (0.2 m)
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

An excellent lens for its price. One complaint

I love this lens. It's sharp, excellent colors and clarity. I have one complaint, although I'm not sure if it's standard or just with my particular lens; The focus ring is very tight, to the point where when I use focus tracking, the entire lens and camera moves. I don't want to mess around that much but I'm sure it can be fixed.

Pros
  • 83 degrees / 24mm (equivalent to 35mm)
Cons
  • Some errors

Amazing lens, best in photo and photo

First let me say this lens is awesome! I've paired it with my GH5 and the videos and images they create together are so rich and sharp. This is my video lens, I thought 12mm would be a bit distorted but it isn't. The aperture and focus rings are great, especially since I'm shooting with a crane. This makes it easy to change settings without having to go into the camera. I like this lens, it has good build quality and light weight. This is definitely my new favorite lens. I've attached a photo…

Pros
  • depth of field marker. Minimum focusing distance - 0.2 m; Aperture range: T2.2 to T22
Cons
  • poorly thought out
