Hi,

Nice series of pics. The Fuji does very well with this sort of photography, glad to see you're still putting it good use. I can't believe how sharp that 85mm lens is, incredible really. Is it difficult to focus? I have lots of Nikon legacy lenses, and I don't find them hard to focus at all.

Thanks for posting.

Hi Mark, thank you.

No, i don't find it hard to focus.  In fact, with the S5 is easier and more accurate than with my former D7000.  So from what i have learn the ease of the focusing feel has a lot to do with the camera itself.  I am only going to tell you one time, the Rokinon is one of THE best lenses out there for less than $300 dollars.  The bokeh is just incredible, and at 1.4 it lets in A LOT more light than other 1.4 lenses.  Perfect for low light shooting.  I usually shoot with it from 1.4 to 2.2.

But, having said all that, at 1.4 it is a little more dificult to focus is low light situations.  During the day outdoor or indoor but with PLENTY of light, not a problem at all, but you do have to take your time.  The lens is incredibly fun to use
