Some Rokinon/Samyang lenses are now on sale for Black Friday on Amazon (USA), including the 12mm f2.0 in Canon M mount for $211.40. Regular price has been $249.

I would have been tempted, except that I opted for the Laowa 9mm at its recent sale price. Now I need to concentrate on learning how to use better what I have, instead of buying more stuff.

That's a great deal on the Sammy 12mm f2.0, especially for hose looking for a great astro lens.

I was out shooting with the Laowa 9mm this morning with full-spectrum M200 and Tiffen #47 blue filter, which passes both blue and infrared below about 700 nm. I really like the colors that filter yields. Processed with DxO using 'Velvia' color slide rendering, which really does remind me of the gorgeous colors I used to get from the real Velvia film.

Due to vignetting of the filter, this was cropped to 16:9 about 85% of frame width, then downsampled to 2160 pixels high. With the infrared filter the Laowa shows some CA near the frame edges -- but it's far less than the Canon EF-M 11-22 or 15-45 show with that filter.

Full-spectrum Canon M200, Laowa 9mm f2.8 lens at f5.6, Tiffen #47 filter 1/40s, ISO 100, processed in DxO PL 6 white balanced on the bridge concrete, Velvia rendering used, color saturation and contrast increased
