    Does anyone have a Rokinon 24mm they would care to comment about? I have the 35 and the 85 and was wondering if I should add the 24mm to the set. Thanks.

    i have the 24mm and 85mm and both are excellent lenses. on a side note, rokinon is releasing a cine version of the 24mm so i would probably hold out till its made available.

    Thanks for the input, guys. And yes, I saw that Rokinon will be releasing cine lenses. Meanwhile, I have been in contact with Matthew Duclos to modify the 35 and the 85 tht I already have. If the Rokinon cine lenses are more than the Duclos mod cost, I may go that route instead of buying the cine versions.

    For the price you can't beat it. I mean it does breath a little - but its a pretty rad basic fast wide.

    I am very happy with my Rokinon set. I like that they are slightly larger than their Zeiss counterparts, and the picture is great...

    I'm pretty sure the 50mm is in the works.

    So I hear. I also just ordered the 8mm fisheye cine - backordered at B&H. Might as well go all out.

    I was recently looking at the Samyang / Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 lens. Seems like a few sites (lenstip, dxomark, photographyblog) praise the lens except for Ken Rockwell. I'm also looking for opinions on this as another Rokinon wide lens. A 14mm lens at $400 seems too crazy to be true.
