  1. The main problem with Rokinon lenses is they are inconsistent from lens to lens. One might be great, the other okay and then another totally horrible. The inconsistency is very bad and something you definitely need to be careful with. For $200 you can pick up a used Rokinon 85mm lens and enjoy it's great focal length and colors, my problem with the brand though is it's always a toss up and you never know.

     

    Also these lenses suffer from purple fringing and onion bokeh which is something you truly notice one you work with much better glass. On the cheap they are good and better than most kit lenses, are they better lenses.... Most definitely.

    Okay..

    So lets throw the $200/300 budget away.. So if I had $1000, what prime/cine lens would you suggest?

  2. Does anybody know a good shuttercount software for Mac, for free?

    Only thing I can found is crap or I have to pay 10 bugs for only a shutter number.

    I have a Canon 700D (t5i) and a Canon 6D I would like to count the shutters of.

    Thanks!

  3. Wait for the Sony A7rII to show up and buy some FD lenses.. 

    Or if you want to spent even more then you can buy the more expensive lenses from Canon (with metabones adapter) or Sony ofcourse.

    A7s is also an option if you don't want 4K and you like to shoot on ISO 400.000 :D

    Or just buy a GH4 + Metabones speedbooster + Sigma 18-35 F/1.8!! Awesome combination!

  4. I was searching for a Cine lens for my Canon 700D (T5i).

    But I found that the Canon ones are a little bit to expensive for me..

    So I found some Cine lenses from Samyang (Rokinon).

    Samyang has a lot of the same looking lenses but there are the two versions I liked but where I almost can't find some differences: 

    - Samyang 85mm T1.5 VDSLR AS IF UMC

    and the 

    - Samyang 85mm T1.5 VDSLR AS IF UMC II

    Does somebody know the difference between these two? The second one seems to be a newer version but is also more expensive..

    The only difference I can find are some little changes in design..

    Does somebody have one of these lenses and knows the difference in image quality?

    Are these lenses also usable for crop sensor body's? I know there are made for full frame but I was wondering what the results were on a crop sensor.

    I already have the Sigma 18-35 F/1.8, Tokina 11-16 F/2.8, Canon 50mm F/1.8 and some cheap zoom lenses and I hope that the Samyang Cine Lens give me that extra Cine-look that I'm looking for.

    Hope somebody can help!
