Rokinon 35-150 f/2 - 2.8 (impressive!)

Tested the lens at my shoot today and I was quite impressed. So far, I like the color rendition of the zoom better than my 85 (which I consider pretty fantastic).
It also seems sharper wide open.
Absolute bargain at $818, no tax and free shipping from Rokinon (not sure how long the sale is going on). Compared to just under $2k for the Tamron version. They test *quite* similar from what I have researched.

I own one also, it's a very underrated lens. One of the best zooms I have ever used.

Still blown away by the IQ of the 35-150. Truly a masterpiece of engineering. These were shot wide open:

You're lucky you got one with good quality control. It's a great lens if you can get one that isn't grossly decentered or has EXIF issues.

Yes, guess I should feel fortunate. But haven't read anything online to suggest the QC is poor. Most rave about the lens (except about the lens creep ~ which is easily rectified with a o-ring around the barrel)

I have the Samyang version of this lens. I'm more than happy with the results that I get from it.

Amazing images. Truly stunning. I would venture to say that the $4k Sony 50-150 f/2 would have a hard time beating these images.

Interested in getting a copy of this lens. Would you be kind to share a long term review of the lens?

Highly recommend after 4 months of steady use in my (mostly outdoors) wedding photography business. The only caveat on the Rokinon vs much more expensive Tamron version is lens creep, but can easily be remedied with a cheap gasket around where the zoom ring meets the barrel:

Other than that, stellar image quality. Don't even use my 85mm f/1.4 any more.
