p.13 #1 · p.13 #1 · Non-Nikon MF Glass on Nikon Cameras


It is near impossible to get 100% focus with the Rokinon at any aperture, because I feel the green dot in the camera and actual visual focus in the viewfinder are off from what I get on the sensor. LiveView will work, but I hate using it and it is useless when shooting handheld, which I do most of the time. My solution is to fire off a set of frames while gently moving my body through the roughly identified focal distance. Last weekend, I got one shot like that out of 9 frames, all others were crap, and all others showed the green dot.

Given I rarely have time to set up a shot, I am going to buy AF glass in this category going forward. I want a 200mm f/2, but have absolutely no interest in the MF version, as I expect the same frustration working that lens in the field. For me, MF glass first of all has to be a bargain. There are few other reasons I shoot those lenses.

not a recent photo - taken in 2012 with my 85mm f/1.4 Rokinon and my D7000. The car, though, is timeless. The owner sold it a while back and bought a boring McLaren P1 with the money.

Chris, lovely Samyang 135mm shots.

Recently acquired a Mamiya Sekor C 210mm F4 lens. Supposedly for M645 cameras, but love to put these lenses on Nikon full-frame cameras (Df).

Your daughter is such a terrific model -- very engaging facial expressions while being very relaxed at the same time. Great subject for your lens tests (and memories).

Great photos on this page, and the next, as I work my way backward on this thread. Congrats!

Thanks! She's gotten used to me pointing the camera at her and is really patient considering she's only 8. I dragged the kids out tonight for some fall pictures. I took this with a Helios 44-2. The rendering with these is really interesting, I find it's pretty sharp by f2.8 and that's where I try to keep it. It is a pretty low contrast lens so I find it takes a little more work in LR to get it where I like it.
