Cons:Too much distortion to be an 85. Colors a little warm for my taste. Paraluce not cared for like the rest.
Opinion:I bought this lens at the official British retailer and I do not know why this specimen is slightly different, maybe a Demo version. It has red graphics and a rigid plastic focus ring so it doesn't have the problem of collecting dust like the standard soft rubber one. Constructively and aesthetically it is the most beautiful lens I have ever had, perhaps they could better cure the interior of the lampshade which however is beautiful and compact. To be a lens with manual focus, heavy and cumbersome I would say that the operation is still excellent, better than some Zeiss I tried. Well balanced on my 5DsR, the damping of the MAF ring is pleasant and the confirmation in the car is accurate. The overall performance is excellent as it is sharp since opening 1.2. The blurring is magical, but the colors are a bit too hot for my taste. In my specimen I did not find chromatic aberrations or flares but a distortion that spoils the composition if you do not bring attention. The images are three-dimensional, I also took some landscape photos and between f8 and f11 and did not suffer the 50mp sensor. I noticed the game in the bayonet graft that probably does not affect the photo but conveys an unpleasant feeling. Always having to retouch the distortion and the balance of white after a month I returned it.
Opinion:Lens that I find fantastic, gives great satisfaction in its use, which can not be anything but meditated. The manual focus for me is not a flaw, also because using it to the notable openings for which a photographer buys it, the autofocus would often lead to disappointments. So arm yourself with tripods and LiveView. The beauty comes when you open the images: the detail in the areas in focus is very noticeable, even at full aperture. This, together with the fuzzy creamy and intense, helps to get the 3d effect that everyone is mentioning. The colours are rendered in a natural and pleasant way, almost pictorial. I would only change the material of the MAF ring; Although excellent for its purpose, the grip of this kind of rubber makes it difficult to clean; For the rest the mechanics of the ring nut is perfect. The lens is big and heavy, the frontal lens greenish is remarkable, it is certainly not unnoticed, as do not go unnoticed the giant prints that we can achieve with great satisfaction. The use also on panoramic head for images with the effect "brenitzer" that give me great satisfaction.
Opinion:I own for quite some time, and frankly I must say that is a lens that I really like, churns out photos in 3d. Has many strengths and also those that might appear to be limitations, like for example the maf manual at the end are not that important for a lens like that, cmq also with those with AF I try manually the point of maf. Amazing on everything even on price considering the type of lens.

Pros:Constructive quality, optical quality to all openings, rotation fluidity of the focus ring, presence of confirmation chip focus and its good reliability at all distances.
Cons:Stratospheric weight, lack of serious tropicalization. However, if you mount a professional 82mm ND filter at the front, there seem to be few entry points for moisture and dust (Canon EF version). Vignette in TA, disappears with the right lens profile.
Opinion:A big piece of the Korean producer. If you are used to the glorious 85 f / 1.8 Canon house, this Samyang asphalt at all openings, they are equal to f / 8 onwards. What does not make words is the ability to restore the natural complexion. In addition, the faces are very "three-dimensional", with a similar behavior to the 35mm 1.4 L series, to give the idea. Reliable confirmation of maf, however obsessively looking, given the depth of field almost nothing to TA. The weight ... noblesse oblige ... if you have an Eos1 is bearable, if you work with an 80D you may find yourself embarrassed by the imbalance.
