Thanks to everybody who responded. Upon further search, I found this (in case it's useful for somebody else): http://lenstip.com/166.11-Lens_review-Samyang_85_mm_f_1.4_Aspherical_IF__Summary.html and this: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/46479-review-samyang-85mm-f1-4-aspherical-if.html
Also, it looks like there variations of this lens: "A" and non-"A": Opteka version (e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Telephoto-Portrait-Digital-Cameras/dp/B0022VHEJK ) has its aperture up to 16, while Bower at B&H seems to have 22 and "A" setting for the aperture. Rokinon appears to exist in both versions. I see Vivitar in "A" version on overstock.com and at B&H. The "original" Samyang version has up to 22, with or without "A" setting. This one doesn't have "A": http://www.optyczne.pl/aparaty_image/4499_sam85_1.jpg and this one does have "A": http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/46479-review-samyang-85mm-f1-4-aspherical-if.html Igor -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
