Thanks for your insight.

Just to clarify, I'm referring to this lens.

Anybody else?

I am somewhat mystified by the answers given in the previous response. If I read the questions correctly the answers were almost all wrong. Maybe I should go back and see if the questions were asked in the negative.

The chipped version of the Samyang lenses give you complete automatic (or electronic) control of the lens. The lens will behave just like any modern day Nikon lens except that it is manual focus. The answer to almost all your questions is 'yes'. I have the 85mm Samyang. The 14mm chipped version of the lens should behave in the same way.

Correct. And I have the 14mm Rokinon (chipped) version.  And for those that don't know, the "chipped" version means the lens has a CPU chip to work with the auto exposure system of the camera. Everything works other than auto focus as this is a manual focus lens.

As for Exif data...
