I just got this lens today am have to say that the image it produces is incredibly sharp. However, I did notice that the front element wobbles/shakes ever so slightly. I quickly googled the issues only to find a large number of people also experiencing the same problem.

Honestly, the build quality of the these lenses is just below average. My first lens had loose elements so I exchanged it for a new one. Now only six months in and I can't see this lens getting past the 2 year mark at best.

Considererd the Veydra mini cini but chose the DS line of Rokinon for half the price. Images look great used with the SONY PXW-FS5. Clickless aperture ring is smooth as silk. Lens looks great attached to the FS5. It does breath so a apply a subtle tilt or pan when racking.

I shoot mainly on a Canon 80D, this lens is absolutely perfect for my uses. I have worked on campaign videos, commercial shoots, organizational promo videos and personal projects and I cannot express how well this lens works in a multitude of settings.

Im really sad, since Ive heard only good thing about the lens and so on. It should be really sharp and have a good img quality at a t-stop of 1.5. No! Its like in the title unusable. After a exchange same thing.

Is this as good as a $4k cinema lens? No. Not it isnt. For its price, however, it is a solid deal. Wish there was a longer throw on the focus ring, but outside of that, Im quite happy with it.

Very clean lens. Super smooth.

After 4 years of using the 16mm, 24mm, 35mm and 85mm, I have to give the Rokinon line 4 stars. I want to give it 3.9, because its not quite a 4 to me. But 3 would be too harsh.Usually, wide open on a lens should be one stop less than what you want to shoot on all the time.

[English]The lens is really beautiful. Its kind heavier than is appears to be and very well built.The f/1.4 (T 1.5) apperture is great for low light scenes, with a beatiful bokeh.

I purchased this lense for the sole purpose of videos. It has performed above my expectations.
