[58 mm (Front)] Using this on my A6000. Impressed by quality even from f1.4 Recently used this combo as 2nd camera at wedding and very happy with the results.

[Manual Focus] I’ve had this lens for a couple of weeks now, and it is my first new lens outside of the efm 50-200 and kit lens (15-45) I got it for it’s wide aperture capabilities, size, sharpness, and medium wide focal length.

The lens is quite sharp and pretty easy to focus with focus peaking turned on, and the whole lens feels much, much higher quality than the kit lens, though it is quite a bit heavier so if you like to go backpacking like me, keep that in mind. The infinity marking seems to be correct on my lens, but it is frustrating that I can’t focus beyond infinity and come back to it to ensure that I’m at the perfect point for very distant objects. It appears to be only marginally sharper than my kit lens at infinity but has better colors and contrast. The lens appears to be sharpest at around f5.6 but is still quite sharp on closer subjects even wide open at f1.4. The amount of detail you get on close/medium distance objects is awesome, and the bokeh look great in my opinion.

I went with the 21mm instead of something wider because I wanted a lens that was narrow enough to still take pictures of people, but was wide enough for landscapes and some astrophotography, a good compromise for backpacking trips. If you’re going for taking pictures of big Milky Way scenes, you’re probably better off with a wider lens, though this one still works fairly well in my opinion.

Overall, this is a great lens as my first prime and I’ve really enjoyed using it the past couple of weeks for everything from pictures of people, landscapes, close ups of objects, and astrophotography. Having f1.4 is a huge step up from the kit lens.

[1.05 lb] Loving this lens, small, compact, well made. Focus and aperture rings are nice and smooth, optics are sharp. Works perfectly on the X-T3

[FUJIFILM X] Although it is manual focus, this is still an amazing lens. It is very sharp wide open and can handle rough use too. I love this lens and use it a lot.

[58 mm (Front)] This was one of the first lenses I bought for my GH4 and it's been one of my most used. Renders beautiful colors and flares (if you're into that sort of thing), is wonderfully sharp even wide open, and has a very responsive and smooth focus ring. It's a beast in low light, which makes it especially useful for Micro Four Thirds shooters. A really nice normal prime focal length, especially when paired with the GH4, as this lens comes out to about a 48mm full frame equivalent with the 4K crop. So if you're coming from full frame system with classic 50mm f/1.8 setup, you'll feel right at home with this lens. The body is a metal frame with a tough plastic exterior. It feels well built and and sturdy, and it's stood up marvelously to about a year's worth of consistent use. The construction on all the Rokinon lenses I own has been solid, and I definitely find it better than the all-plastic builds of the budget Panasonic and Olympus lenses. The only real downside some may find with this lens is that it's fully manual. If you are predominantly a video shooter like me, this probably isn't a huge loss, but some photographers may find it unideal. In addition to being fully manual, the focus ring also does not hard stop at infinity, going a few degrees beyond it. So that's important to keep that in mind if you want to use this lens for landscape or astrophotography work. This issue is pretty common on lenses in this price range, and I still prefer a manual ring to wire focus when it comes to trying to nail focus on distant objects. Whether you're a photographer or videographer, this lens has a lot to offer, and for the price it's tough to beat.

[1.05 lb] This lens is sharp and has very nice/strong bokeh wide open. It is also compact and perfect on the a6000. Very solid construction and has a smooth focus ring with much better feel than the focus-by-wire sony lenses. Paired with the mirrorless manual focus aids like the zooming and peaking (you'll need to map a button to do the focus zoom because it won't be able to sense that you've started zooming) this lens is great for street photography. This is a lot of lens for the money.

[58 mm (Front)] I have owned this lens for about 6 months now. I absolutely love it for video on my xt3 as it produces images with a special cinematic quality. Smooth as butter focus and aperture rings, solid build quality. Very little to no distortion for a 21mm. Decent bokeh for a WA lens, and very fast for the price, also sharp in the centre wide open. I highly recommend it and am surprised more Fuji shooters don't seem to know about this hidden gem of a lens.

[Manual Focus] I bought this lens in Singapore for my A6000 because i wanted a smaller setup than the A7RII+FE35 1.4 . I have been very happy with the results. It is sharp,small and and cheap. On the A6000 its equivalent to 35mm lens on a full frame. Manual focus is easy with focus peaking.

[69.3°] I've been using this for a little over a week, and in that time it has become my new favorite lens. It mates securely to my Sony NEX-6, and all of the controls are smooth and positive. Definitely would buy this lens again. Keep in mind that it is manual only. I prefer fully manual lenses and this fits right in.

[Manual Focus] If you can deal with manual focus, this lens is a great bargain, especially when compared to Fuji's 23 1.4. I haven't tested the Fuji but this Rokinon lens is sharp enough for my needs. I also like the build, perfect aperture ring resistance, and smooth focusing ring. Best of all, it's compact and light (though not as compact as Fuji's 23 f2).
