Q: 1. Basic instructions for getting started using this lens with a Sony a6000 from a newbie with no experience shooting in manual and no experience using non-Sony autofocus lens? Something to get me started so I don't get frustrated with it? The only thing I know is enabling release without lens My use will be 95% landscape shots. Thanks in advance.

A: Set the lens to infinity focus (which will keep pretty much anything outside of 3 feet in focus), and then your only variable will be aperture. Try setting that to 5.6 (of course this depends on available light). One more thing to note is that the infinity setting is sometimes a little off on the dial - try nudging it back and forth until you get a good focus. MF Assist is your friend with this lens, so look up how to use that!

Q: 2. Will this fit/work on the Cannon M50?

A: Yes, it will work. The lens is totally manual, no electronics. You're M50 might not recognize that a lens is attached. If so there is a menu setting to allow the camera to operate even when it doesn't sense there is a lens attached.

A: according to the company using different names was a marketing decision. The Samyang brand is used in international markets while Rokinon is used in the US. However you can buy a Samyang lens here as well.

Q: 9. Will this lens work on the Sony A7II?

A: Yes, the Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Lens for Sony E Mount (Black) is compatible and can be used on the Sony Alpha a7II Mirrorless Digital Camera. However, do note that as the Sony Alpha a7II Mirrorless Digital Camera uses a full-frame sensor, and the Rokinon 12mm f/2 lens is designed for use on APS-C sensors, to use the lens with the proper APS-C framing, it will crop the camera's resolution from 24 megapixels down to 10 megapixels. You can use the lens in full-frame mode, but there will be black vignetting on the outside of the image where the rear of the lens blocks light from reaching the sensor during exposure.

Q: 10. I have a SONY Alpha 7. This lens says it's for APs-c sensor. Will I lose the full frame sensor on the Alpha 7 when I use this lens? If it can be used on Alpha 7, what effective 35m focal will it have?

A: Since it is a manual lens, the A7 will not automatically crop it, unless you put the camera in APS-C On Mode. If you use it without cropping, it will be showing a wide black frame with a round shape in the middle. I often do the cropping in Lightroom, instead of letting the camera do it. The cropped picture size will be 3936 x 2624. The effective focal lens is roughly about 18mm.
