Good product! - Camera lenses

Rokinon offers a wide range of products. Well done. Continuous. Ideal for the professional videographer on a budget. I wish they had a full 180 degree lens for Canon Super35 sensors.

Pros
  • Smooth aperture switching from t3.8 to t22
Cons
  • Flimsy

Not good enough. Not sharp.

I have a Canon 7D and 30D (both crop sensor cameras). Most of my other lenses are from Canon's "L” series. I bought this lens solely for my upcoming vacation to the Grand Canyon and Moab, Utah. A rough Canon equivalent would be the Canon 14mm f/2.8L or 8-15mm f/4L ($2100 and $1300 respectively).

I don't really care since I grew up with a handheld Luna Pro…

Pros
  • delayed aperture for simple video recording
Cons
  • nothing

Manual focus is a long focus and more accurate than trying to manually focus an autofocus lens. I've seen several reviews online where the…

Pros
  • With HD optics and removable lens hood for sharper images, ideal for shooting with full-frame cameras
Cons
  • Can hurt
