As it happens I had my Rokinon 85mm 1.8 on my K-01 this weekend so I
guess this post is pertinent to two recent subjects. Here is the link to
a photo taken handheld and has been substantially cropped. There were
four others not even close to in-focus. The DOF is very thin wide open.
But it would be a waste to shoot this lens at f11 all the time.

several times as much, but are also autofocus.
I've heard the Samyang 85/1.4 compared against the Zeiss 85/1.4 and
did remarkably well. (The Zeiss is certainly a better performer, the
difference is smaller than expected.)
