Rokinon 12mm Cine NX mount - First scene shots with NX30

Well, I ran out yesterday and tried out my new Rokinon 12mm Cine NX mount lens on some still shots with my NX30.

This is not a review nor a fair test of the lens. I still have to learn how to use it.

I'm just showing off what my $230 let me add to my bag (thanks to Eric and Nougat77).

I am very pleased with this acquisition

Following are two images of Hell Gate bridge on a very cold and breezy afternoon.

The first (A) is with my 16-50 PZ, 7.1, 1/200. ISO 100, 16MM, out of LR using PP, full size.

Second (B) is a crop of (A) to 11.93" x 2.4" (100%)

Third (C) is with my 12mm Rokinon Cine NX mount lens, 1/50, aperture ring moved to match output of (A) on my LCD, (did not note it, was freezing, will do so next time), ISO 100, 12MM, out of LR using PP, full size.

Fourth (D) is a crop based on scene features to match the crop of (B), then resized to allow for the 16 vs 12 mm focal lengths.

Fifth (E) is a combo of the two images cropped to scene features to allow for the 16 vs 12 mm focal lengths, to enable easy comparison.

Hope you find this interesting:

A - 16-50 PZ

B

C - Rokinon 12mm Cine NX mount

D

Comparative image - as per detail notes above

Video tests for lens noise, etc. to follow after Christmas

A Merry Christmas to All !!

Samsung NX30
