Some quite interesting observations in your post.

8mm Rokinon- I haven’t mounted this on my camera to do anything but take samples since I got it for Christmas. I should at least try to do something with it before selling it, but it appears its days are numbered. But before I get rid of it I’m going to latch it to my X-Pro2 and not take it off until I get at least one keeper.

I haven't used that lens much myself. I wouldn't take it for wedding or formal event for sure. I once took it to a vacation trip, I liked the images, but my wife wasn't amused. I found it to be great in a Halloween party though. With its distortions it did add hilarity to those pictures.
