p.1 #1 · 14mm f2.8 Rokinon and ND filters??


Was looking into ND filters and was wondering if it is possible to use a 4x6 Singh Ray ND or Reverse ND in front of this lens(hand holding)? I am new to filters so sorry if this is a stupid question.

I can't comment on 4x6 filters but I remember this site: http://www.4photos.de/camera-diy/Samyang-14mm-Filter.html

Iīve tested it handheld with Lee ND 100x150mm, both APS-C and Fullframe.
On APS-C itīs ok, on fullframe you get reflections from behind at the sides of the filter.

Jim, do you have any photos taken with the Rokinon 14 2.8mm? I am about to order the Rokinon 85mm F1.4 and was doing some research on the 14 2.8mm. Ken (cough)rockwell(cough) says it's horrible. I haven't seen too many photos taken with it. I have read that it's 1000x more easier to make a 85mm lens than a 14mm. Also, what camera do you have? Is it a good lens for that D90?

You might check this thread out .http://www.flickr.com/groups/canoneos5dmarkii/discuss/72157624987632439/

I read the Review by Rockwell as well and wondered if he got a really bad copy or had it in for the lens from the get go.Everyone that i talk to that has it says that it lives up to its name and that is it Rocks! .I am getting one in the mail in a week or so once i send payment.So i have no pictures with my copy right now.Just search flickr their are quite a few out there.
