Re: Rokinon/Samyang 85mm f1.4 for Samsung nx300

Of all the non nx lenses I have (legacy ones,modern Nikon ones are not that useful due to electronic aperture control) I mostly use following:

I have somewhere Russian 85/2 in m42 mount (jupiter 9) but it's a specialty lens, nice for portraits, but one trick pony.

From time to time 300/4 and other "exotic" glass, but rarer and rarer. They are heavy and no ois.

Fast normal and shorter tele lens have very simple designs and are as good as they get, especially on crop sensor that will hide imperfections around the edges of full frame.

Something on this forum ate my very long message...

TL ;DR : konica 135/3.2, helios 44-2, konica 57/1.2 (that I'm selling), chinon/tomioka 55/1.4 and used to konica 40/1.8 before 30mm nx.
