Actually, the Leica samples in tdong\'s test showed \"ringed\" bokeh highlights where the Rokinon\'s was extremely smooth.
Oh, I don\'t disagree that his test showed the Rokinon as being better in every way, or at least equal. However, in my personal experience, I loved my 80 Lux and felt no emotional connection to the Samyang I tried. YMMV.
What was the emotional connection based on? Do you think it had anything to do with the considerable investment you had in the Leica?
I\'m not trying to be combative. I just know how easy it is to let oneself become enamoured by something upon which one has spent a lot of money, or invested a lot of personal time in.
Or, perhaps because, well... it\'s a Leica!
