[QUOTE="kirbfucius, post: 176772, member: 14121"] I recently went on a short vacation to the beach so the better concert pictures have been delayed, but at least now I also have moonlit water reflection silhouettes to add to this lens' portfolio. It was absolutely perfect! The lack of autofocus may have actually been a bonus because manual lenses tend to have much nicer focus rings. The 35mm 1.4 from this company is full-on awesome. I've tried it at the local shop (Vivitar version) and it is amazing; every bit as good as the 85 I have. The Vivitar version has the added bonus of being cosmetically styled the same as my Rokinon 85mm. It doesn't make any actual difference, but it's nice having matching glass. :D I haven't bought the 35 1.4 though though because my Nikkor 1.8 covers my fast 35 needs on this crop sensor body. If I had a full frame camera, it would be an instant purchase. [/QUOTE]
