Appreciate the feedback. It's going to be a few years until I could go back out to dark sky areas. The Rokinon 14mm is mostly good; sharp center at F4 but definitely distortion and blur at the edges....

I've owned a multitude of Rokinon lenses, but not the 14mm f2.8... That said between two Fisheyes, 85mm f1.4 and a semi-similar 12mm f2 (sony APS-C) they all had true infinity in different spots than...

Reading a few posts from you, you do sound like a jack ass, but a helpful and informative one :) (I try to imagine the Simpsons Comic-Book-Guy voice). That said, I have the old Rokinon 14mm F2.8 that...

Absolutely love this lens for my usage which is mostly astrophotography, landscape and occasional real estate. Checked all the boxes I wanted. Upgraded from the Rokinon 12MM F/2.

This is a great deal if you have been eyeing this special purpose lens. It gets a lot of use due to its f/2 for for low-light real estate videos. The zero-D is great to make sure your lines/angles...

Thanks OP.
Believe it or not, I had a deal alert for this. Been watching the used KEH inventory, but couldn't coincide it being in stock with a KEH coupon. At $699, it's low enough new to pull the...

The image circle/format coverage is different for these – full 35mm for the Laowa vs APS-C/Super35 for the Rokinon.
Otherwise it's really about the focal length difference. The Rokinon will be...

The 12mm is made for crop sensors only vs the 15 being made for full frame.
I was never really happy with my 12mm due to the softness around the edges, but it may have been my copy admittedly.

It also doesn't communicate electronically with the body, so no EXIF data, and no auto-lens correction profile assignment.

Good bokeh and amazing glass matter especially if you print your shots. Not everything always needs to be in focus. But for most, you have a good point I can't argue with!

Eh. Just get the active, legendary Tamron 17-28mm zoom lens for much more versatility.
