The difference in size and weight is pretty spectacular (and one reason for my purchase).
In fact, the size of the Rokinon is SO SMALL that I will really need to adjust how I hold my camera-lens combo, or I am going to get an awful lot of shots with my finger in the frame...
You can say that again. You really have to be careful with this. I was out shooting with the Samyang on the E-M5 a couple of days ago and had my gloves on since it was -10 C. This wasn't a such a good idea. I came home with quite a few shots where the corners were blocked by a glove or two.
Using a FishEye with gloves: ouch, you lead the dangerous life!
Once your fingers know how to the proper walking, I hope/think you'll have every reason to be happy with your new lens.
I'm sure I will be. I'm already getting used to holding my left hand under the camera after a few short minutes of test shooting.
There is no need for hand on lens anyway : no weight to support, and once aperture is set, there is hardly a need for more manipulation.
Focus can be set to infinity for almost anything. The next focus stop is 0.25 meters.
Only for really really close focusing, does one need to use the focus ring, but then it will be a matter of careful shooting anyway.
In fact, I think this lens-camera combo lends itself well to one-handed operation, with fluid results.
