I bought this lens, but used it really few times since a couple of months later I bought the samsung nx 85mm. It's optically very good, but focusing was not easy w/o focus peaking (I had the nx200 back then). I never used it since.

Ps. I don't mean to get ot, but I could even think about seling it. If you are in europe and interested, drop me a line. It's in mint conditions.

If you were so far, I wouldn't mind working something out, but I'm in the United States (California).

Would you say that samsung 85mm is worth the extra cost for AF and focus peaking over the Rokinon? Is it like, hands down better to have? I'm considering getting one or the other, but was looking for more insight. You have all the experience i'm looking for since you own both.
