Can't wait to try this out on the family at Christmas, very well packaged, all new, good price for quality item! Vicki

I bought this item for my trip, I wanted to capture great images for memories, without the headache of carrying my big professional camera.Really cool

A go to for portraits. The 1.8 is fantastic for astrophotography such as tight star clusters or the Orion Nebula. Not so great for milky way shots due to narrow field of view. The 50mm becomes around 80mm on crop sensor cameras. I'm happy with it for the price.

This lens (identical to Samyang, Vivitar, Polar, Bower, Falcon versions) lives up to the rave reviews. Cheap, good built quality (all metal except the lens hood, front cap seems cheap though), well damp, surprisingly good optic. My experience with Great Offer Stock is excellent. Free shipping took 5 days to Canada, not bad at all. Good, well padded package. Definitely would buy here again. Highly recommend.

I've been reading the reviews on this lens, and I am stunned to find out that the biggest complaint is about the AF eventually breaking. I am a professional photographer, and I was taught many years ago not to rely on auto focus. I rarely use the AF, so I guess I don't have to worry about the lens ever breaking. I bought this lens for two reasons. 1. it was affordable. 2. I wanted to improve how I take portraits Not only did this lens do that for me, but I discovered that this lens is also great for other types of photographs. I like to use it when taking landscapes. Sure it is cool to have that wide angle look, but I prefer to get those distant vistas closer without a zoom. Also this lens is great for depth of field shots. Nothing cooler that a perfectly in focus foreground with a colorful blurred background. If you are looking to learn more about Depth of Field, apertures, shutter speeds, etc, then this is a good lens as a starter. Get off the Program mode. Use your Manual mode more learn how to take a really great photo

I've shot with an older version of the Nikon 85/1.4 from rentglass.com (use them if you ever have a chance) and did not feel like I had to run out and buy for >$1000, but was still interested in rounding out my range of fixed focal length lenses. Ran across the Rokinon while searching for other options. Thought long and hard about it, but pulled the trigger for the "chip" version, which adds metering for my D7000. Manual focus is not an issue for me. I'd take AF for sure, but at this price point, can't be beat the quality. Hefty build. I like the focus ring action. Agree with other reviewers that the hood and cap don't play very well together, but I can still place the lens cap with the hood on with a little extra effort. I would not hesitate to recommend this lens to anyone comfortable with manual focus.

It's very useful for my cellphone , very cheap ,i will purchase it again at the next time

This lens hasn’t left my camera since the day I bought it! It is so sharp and the bokeh is beautiful!

Works great with my D40.. manual focus (set and forget), manual aperture (twist the ring), manual exposure (use the histogram). Mine came free with finger smudges on the front element, but they came off with careful cleaning. Low distortion even in the corners. Overall an excellent piece of glass. Body mount fits a little tight, and the focus scale is off. But neither is a big deal. The odd thing part about using this lens in portrait orientation is how easy it is to get your feet and the ceiling in your photo at the same time.

Very happy with these - their results were indistinguishable from others sold elsewhere at 3 times the price! Note that you must remove your phone case to use them.

Delivery a little slow and tracking sucked, but they arrived and fit.

Great addition to our Canon Digital Rebel. Movements are a little stiff, but pictures are clear and bright. Not very heavy, makes carrying the camera along to get those action shots a joy.

Gave to the wife and she loves it. Has used it many times since receiving it.

Great little package the filters are not bad and the extra lens bag is nice. overall a good package

Have been waiting to get a great deal like this. Very happy.
