I like Samyang/Rokinon lenses

I have the 35mm, 24mm for my Sony A7II and just ordered the 75mm. Hard to beat these lenses for the money. I wish they also made them for Lumix L mount cameras.

I like Rokinon lenses for my ultrawide needs. I have the Rokinon SP 10mm f/3.5 UWA for my full frame Sony A7R IV and the Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fish Eye II for my APS-C Samsung NX-1. While I understandably do not use these lenses a lot, when I need them they are excellent at doing what they are designed for.

I have Collections on my website showing these lenses in use:

Rokinon SP 10mm f/3.5 UWA

Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 UMC Fish Eye II

Four or five year ago Samyang/Rokinon came out with a group of lenses specifically designed for APS-C and of course in typical Samyang fashion, they were all ported down to M43. They had the 8mm f2.8 FE, 12mm f2, 21mm f1.4, 35mm f1.4, and the 50mm f1.2. All smaller and lighter than their full-frame 35mm DSLR lenses, these lenses were a perfect match with my Fuji X-E2. The only one I didn't have was the 35mm, which was the last one released. Optically, all of these lenses were fantastic, the build was typical Samyang with metal mounts and industrial strength plastic bodies, plus all of the scales were stenciled on, so they weren't all that accurate. But I got a lot of great photos with those lenses. Two with the 21mm f1.4 which was my personal favorite.

Quite a while ago, my first Samyang was the manual focus 1.4/85mm. for Nikon. Great lens and very practical too use because of the built in CCU. Later added the 1.4/24mm., 1.4/35mm. and the 2.8/14mm. to that, all CCU-equiped lenses for Nikon. I use them to this day and they still are worth every cent I payed for them. Lovely IQ for the price point and very well built as well.
