I bought this lens as part of a project to replace the kit zoom lenses for my Sony NEX-5T and a6300 by a collection of prime lenses. Zoom lenses have to make a compromise between sharpness, wide aperture, and weight.
Compared to another manual 35mm lens I really like, this Rokinon has better image quality. The build quality is very good and feels sturdy in hand. On the downside, the lens hood doesn't sit true and wiggles (unlike Rokinon's 21mm). And the focus ring is a touch stiff - but could soften over time.
For the money, this is another great fast lens. I bought it for the speed in low light situations and for the price, I havent been disappointed. With my Sony A6300, I get slightly better results stepping the lens back one or two stops, but even wide open it gives good results for what I use it for.
This really is an amazing product. Extremely sharp, even wide open and capable of some really artistic shots. The sun stars it creates are beautiful and the light turns buttery soft as it's opened up.
Lens responds easily with a short but steady ring. Its fast and its depth of field is predictable and performs well at all aperatures. Solid build. Stays on my Fuji xT1 to begin any shoot.
I bought this lens for videos. This lens is very sharp from end to end. Never regretted. Ive used it for some photos too. Dont think twice if you want that 50mm focal length equivalence. Just buy it. Attached are some photos taken with it.
Love this lens. It's small, light, and produces a beautiful image. Glad I purchased it! :)
This lens is very impressive for the price. Super good bokeh and DOF. It can be hard to manually focus at f/1.2 but you get use to it over time.
