Samyang 85mm, 1.4 - borisbg - 08-05-2010 Hi Jenbenn, I ordered it already. The store has good return policy, so if I don't like it I will pay the shipping and restocking fee. This is exactly what I am going to use it for. So far most of the reviewers and users liked it even the MF. I will post update here. Samyang 85mm, 1.4 - borisbg - 08-05-2010 Wim, thank you very much, very kind of you. I ordered the Samyang copy. I hope is for good. Thanks again. Samyang 85mm, 1.4 - wim - 08-05-2010 Hi Boris, The pleasure is mine. I hope all works out well! I'll look forward to hearing from you when it has arrived! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Kind regards, Wim Samyang 85mm, 1.4 - borisbg - 08-23-2010 Hi Wim, I received it, play with it, and like it a lot. I never had such fast lens. I don't mind the manual focus, the results are good enough for me. See the following shots. F1.4 in shade, afternoon.

What do you think about the samyang shots in terms of rendering? [/quote] I only saw the one you posted here, the flowers (cosmos, one of my favourites, actually). Looks fine to me, a little bluish, but then, I am used to Canon lenses <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mellow:' />. I'd say it is a little less bluish than a Tokina lens. Very easily corrected in PP anyway if you feel the need. Bokeh in the background is great, close to the focus plane maybe a little busy, but only slightly more so than the Canon 85L. The photograph looks a little on the soft side, but that could well be a combination of the internet and the (small) size. Looking carefully I do think I can see the striae on the petals of the cosmos, so that would indicate it is a lot sharper than the photograph posted here can actually show. I'd say that this is sharper wide open than the Canon EF 85 F/1.8, so that's very, very good indeed. Kind regards, Wim |
