yea, I guess all those journalists in Iraq and Afghanistan should be using polaroids. |

Not to mention it gives me the opportunity to compare two similar lenses and give advice on a forum as to the value of each. According to your logic, I should take my 645AF with 22mp digital back with me everywhere, right? It takes the best pictures. Wait, no it doesn't. I should take my RZ67, since it takes even BETTER pictures. Never mind the cost and weight.

See, this is what happens when people don't understand something (or are trying to be comical) add a bunch of incorrect and misleading posts, confusing an otherwise simple concept by creating a self-sustaining series of divergent comments which get further and further from the original point.

If you'd like to stay on topic, you can either agree with me that the 35/2 is a better buy for most users, or give us some input on why you think the Rokinon is preferable. Or do you think everyone should kick down for L glass?? (It sounds like you think all the reporters in war zones are using L glass, right?) |

1. a better focus ring 2. better build quality 3. way sharper @ f1.4 than the canon is @ f4 4. sharper than a bunch of L series glass 5. look up the MTF charts or use the-digital-picture.com comparison tool if you don't believe me 6. Lets in over 2x more light wide open, and is very sharp wide open, unlike the 35mm f/2 7. more aperture blades, so better bokeh The only reason to take the canon over this is: 1. you cannot afford the samyang 2. you need autofocus and auto shutter control 3. you want a lens that looks cheaper so that when you get mugged you save ~$50

But if the 35/2 is that blurry at f/4, then it's a garbage lens that needs to be retired....or you got a bad copy. And Google doesn't support your theory. The 35/2 review says:
That said, my point still stands. "Most people" prefer the ability to shoot with AE and AF than "build quality". That's a nebulous subjective trait that usually equates to "It weighs more". Considering how many people consider a DSLR to be too heavy, but a 4/3 camera "just perfect", weight is not to be dismissed as important. And no, even a mugger wouldn't be smart enough to think a Rokinon is worth stealing, but a Canon lens isn't.

The Rokinon is a great lens, and the $350 price is awesome. But its got a limited audience that is basically videographers and people that have been shooting DSLR's for a while and are willing to chance the manual focus aspect for IQ. For the vast majority of users, they won't notice a difference and the 35mm f/2 will actually allow them to take pictures. The stuff about theft is silly...if you're worried about it, insurance for your camera gear is cheap |
