Found a copy of this lens second-hand. I use it on a Nikon Z6ii - what a magic combo, with focus peaking and internal stabilization. This lens is much better than I hoped for. =)
I have an older version of this lens (gold colored band). I use it on my Pentax K-5II w' battery grip, a nice weighty combo. It is solid and works quite well for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm a Blackmagic guy and that was the only camera I owned, other than my phone. I just bought a used Sony A7R to do some product and real estate photography. I didn't realize how hard it would be to find the right wide-angle lens for a full frame camera! I was looking for a zoom that was sharp at around 16mm. Every option was either way out of my price range or I read horror stories about how easily they flared. I decided to just get a prime for now and stumbled on this lens. Decided to buy it, but was unsure if I was just burning money. This video has eased most of my concerns, so thanks again :-)
Thank you! This is a really good lens. I prefer the Irix 15mm 2.4 for sharpness but I find the color rendition on the Rokinon to be warmer and more pleasing. I still use this lens and that's rare for me after a review.
It should. I think that the K version has an aperture ring and that's what's needed for it to work. If there's no aperture linkage you'd just need to treat it like a pre-set lens.
It works with my Pentax Super Program. Both on manual and auto mode (the LX doesn't have the contacts for Auto features on lenses, but you can still mount it and use it manually)
Mostly that's because it's not a good option for street photography because you'd need to be VERY close to your subject to fill the frame with them. On an APS-C or M43 camera, it could work, but would need to be at the hyperfocal distance.
