- I shoot landscape and portrait mainly. This one is light weight, nicely built - Image quality is good - One bad thing is the mount, it is kinda loose when you try to use MF, it will rotate a little bit.

I was looking for a wide angle lens to complete my set, but not so wide that it looked wide and distorted the image. :) And also not a millionty dollars. This lens was it. I recently tried it out for the first time on a hiking trip in Iceland and Norway. Couldn't have asked for better pictures. So clear, fast, perfect for landscape and sky. I used it inside buildings, it captured light so well. And it's so lightweight. I hadn't heard much about Rokinon previously, but I'm definitely a fan now. And I got a great deal with B&H.

This lens is very sharp, compared to Carl Zeiss.

Sharp manual lens great for landscapes!

This lens has so far exceeded my expectations! I love the shots I get with it on my a6000!

WORKS GREAT WITH MY PANASONIC GH4 I use it to work close and wide,or for landscape shots. No distortion that I can see, replaces my Rokinon fisheye. F2.0 is plenty fast for my use. Focus ring is sturdy and easy to adjust...fstop is stepped, which is fine with me. The lens is well made and works as advertised.

This is my first all manual lens in over 25 years so I had some concerns on how it would work on my new Sony a6300. In summary I am very pleased with the lens. It looks and feels very well made. I like the feel of the focus ring and am able to really fine tune the focus. A few positive surprises. The first is manual focus is easy for what I use this for (astrophotography and landscapes/buildings). It is easy to focus and with the focus zoom feature on the a6300 it can done very accurately. The second is the lens is very sharp in the middle 80% of the photo. I would say it is as sharp as any of the L Series lens (mostly zooms) I have for my Canon 5DM3 and sharper than my 17-40 F4 L even wide open at f2. Yes it is a fixed vs. zoom for the others but it also costs only a fraction as much. It does get a bit soft in the corners/edges but that is expected. Lastly, though manual it does NOT communicate at all with my a6300 (which at first really bummed me out), however, because the a6300 is mirrorless pretty much what you see through the viewfinder (or on the rear display) is what you will get for an exposure. So you can play around with the f stop or shutter speed and pretty much know what you will get. This is was quite a bonus for me and very helpful in the kind of work I do. On the negative there is some chromatic aberration in the usual high contrast bright areas but it was not excessive and I was able to adequately deal with it in Lightroom. Also, the cheap cloth pouch that came with it is not protective so I bought the an OP/TECH USA Fold-Over Pouch #253 which is the perfect size, easy to cover the lens (without the lens hood). The lens cap is a bit loose on it as I bought a B+W 67mm Xs-Pro Uv Haze Mrc-Nano 010m filter to protect the lens. I rarely use lens caps anyway in favor of always keeping my lens in the case when not in use Overall it is still early but I am very happy with the lens, it's wide f2 aperture, apparent quality and sharpness.

This is a superb lens for the money...sharp, quality built...read the reviews, they are true. I have the 8 mm fisheye and the fuji 14mm and wanted to go wider...was considering the fuji 10-24 but it cost a bundle and is a large lens. This takes me wider without a great deal of distortion and the price is right.

I bought this lens to use with my xt1 in order to shoot the milkyway. I am not disappointed at all, the shot are really sharp and the quality construction seems really good as well. Just need to get use to manual focus but it's anyway the usual way to focus for astrophotography. The lens is affordable as well which is great for budget people like me

I love this lens!
