Pulled out the Rokinon 85mm and put it on the Canon 5dMk3 to do some fun shooting in the yard.

This is an all-manual lens. Everything was shot at f/1.4 (because it can), and handheld.

I used Continuous (burst) mode with LiveView and used the magnify to focus on the target flower.

I purposely challenged the lens (and myself) and on the outer edges in low light I see some lens aberration, but the shots look great when zoomed back out to normal viewing distance.

I particularly like the color and contrast characteristics of the lens, as well as sharpness.

NEXT TIME I USE A MONO-POD OR TRIPOD. The lens is heavy, and in low light (10 minutes before sunset) it's hard to handhold at ISO 100 (I boosted it to ISO 200 toward the end).

I'm surprised how well I was able to focus, and keep the camera steady. I think on a mono-pod would increase performance/sharpness.

Went out on a night with the Rokinon 85mm f1.4 with my Lumix GX9. So pretty telephoto and found that I really enjoyed it. Little by little just finding my groove in street photography.
