It's affordable and is the best 35mm lens you can buy if you can't afford a Zeiss

I'd love to test out the 16mm and 50mm to intrigue my buying interest on the rest of the kit.

: This would make a wickedly sharp 50mm equivalent on a cropped frame (APS-C) camera body.

Not even a month later, another lens i purchased from the same company (24mm) also broke when the lens came totally detached from its mounting ring unprompted

When we came across the Rokinons, we bought the entire set of these lenses (8mm, 14mm, 24mm, 35mm, 85mm) and our own personal experience and the feedback from our customers has been fantastic.

I use this lens strictly for video recording and it's proven that Rokinon has developed a worthy 35mm
