The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 was not what I was expecting at such a price. The lens itself compact, yet feels premium in the hand. It has some heft to it, but not overbearingly heavy. While being a manual lens, It is a joy to focus, and tack sharp. The lens is comprised of alloyed metal and glass,[yes real glass]. Paired with the Sony A77, it brought me back to the good ole film days, where everything was in manual, and you had to know what settings you wanted before you took your shot. All of the controls were smooth and easy to use; nothing was stiff, and they don't feel cheap. The photos taken have made me a believer --smooth, almost creamy backgrounds with tack sharp subjects. If you are starting out learning your manual controls, this lens is the one to learn on. My portraits have taken a step up in quality, thanks to this lens.Read full review

First manual focus lens and on the sony a6300 it couldn't be easier to use. Nice sharp pictures. The large aperture really isolates the subject. Couldn't be happier!

I did my research on this lens and saw comparisons of images to lenses costing 3x's as much. I am happy to say that it has lived up to my expectations. The bokeh and sharpness of this lens at 1.4 is just fantastic! Most lenses have limited sharpness when wide open, but this one is quite the opposite. In fact, it doesn't seem to perform any better when above f5.6. But since this is widely used for subject isolation, it's actually perfect for that function. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed.
One of my best lenses. Fantastic bokeh! It is a fantastic lens. very fast. With a superb performance quality. Although it is a manual lens, together with the Sony A77 camera lets you take fantastic photographes.
I feel that I've actually stepped up to the professional level with this lens. It does the job with outstanding results without breaking my bank account. This is a MUST have lens to any serious photographers rather it's portraits or high fashion on the catwalk.
