Nice work. I also agree, this is the best color and light response I have seen from the Rokinon. Is the f/1.4 aperture a true f/1.4? I remember a previous FM\'r claiming that it was closer to F/1.8?
Thanks.
Regarding the Rokinon being slower than f1.4; this is a fallacy, as far as my testing concluded. With the FD 85/1.2 SSC Aspherical set to f1.4 and the Rokinon set to f1.4, identical shutter speeds result in near-identical exposures. The Rokinon may have been 1/15th of a stop slower. Only a tiny push on the exposure slider was required to match the RAW histograms.
