Test shot with the Rokinon 85mm 1.4. Korean lens made by Samyang, also sold as Samyang, Polar, Bowen, Vivitar Series 1. Conclusion so far, nice bokeh, solid lens, encountering Chromatic Aberration frequently when wide open. Sharpness, verdict still out - I need to get better at manually focusing at 1.4.
Testing out a Rokinon 85mm f/1.4. A absolutely incredible lens for the price, sharper than I expected, great build quality, and an almost perfect focus ring.
The only major negative with the lens is chromatic fringing. Closer fringes are cyan, background fringes are green. It is annoying in editing, and can be seen on larger prints. However for 8x10 prints and especially for web use it is barely noticeable.
I highly recommend this lens if your looking for a fast 85mm on the cheap.
