Ok I had to come back to this video just to confirm how AWESOME this lens is. I bought it based on this video and I loved it. It does produce super sharp photos, and the closer photos look very cool due to the wide angle. This is now one of my favorite lenses and for sure will be taking it to travel. Thank you Mark for your videos!

Don't forget, Fuji cameras like the X-H1, X-T4, X-S10, and X-H2 also have IBIS that easily provides 3 or 4 stops of image stabilization (or more), so it's very possible to shoot the Rokinon 12mm f/2 with stabilization.

Great review, in fact it was the one that convinced me to buy a second hand example in late 2023 (a Christmas present to myself…) Straight out of the box as it were it was brilliant - shooting mono as I do, then when I tried the focus peaking function on my Lumix GX8 I started getting disappointing results similar to the worst auto focus ones. So my question from the floor Mark, is what should I turn off in my in-body settings for consistent results? Thanks again for your channel and a happy and healthy new year to you✌️🌹

@royphair9676 Год назад

The great thing about this lens being manual you just set and forget I've also got the 16 mm manual for landscape photography I find that the two lenses being manual helps slow me down with the thought process behind the photo the composition etc and I find that to be an advantage so when I do use a automatic lens I go through the same thought process I even take a test shot with my phone it just helps to create good habits

Hi Mark. Today I bought my first camera (sony a6000) so I am a beginner. I wanted to buy a lens for my camera and I read that there is a new auto-focused Rokinon lens. Since I am a beginner, I am afraid of messing my photos of the stars / panoramic photos so I was considering to buy the auto-focus lens but is very expensive. After watching your video I think I will buy a second-hand manual focused lens. According to what I understood from your video, you just have to configure the lens manually once and that's it.

@markwiemels 2 года назад

Correct, manual focus is much better for star photos too.

@regclayton3429 3 месяца назад

To use this lens with my a6400 I had to go into settings and select ‘allow shutter to release without lens on’. This is because the Rokinon 12 mm is a fully manual lens and doesn’t have the electrical contacts which enable the lens and camera to communicate. Otherwise the camera ‘thinks’ there isn’t a lens affixed and prevents the shutter from operating. Hope this helps.

How does the 4k crop perform on this lens? The m50 kit lens and my sigma 16mm are not wide enough for me when I shoot 4k.
