Well made big good glass with some limatations tempting price.
Manual focus is why it's not in the huge price range.. On a Nikon the conformation light is useless even with the chip until you do some focus fine tuning. If you have a Nikon body that doesn't give you this potion you're on your own, even when i was dead sure it was in focus on my D2Xs pro body, it was a disappointment. I have two of these and both were off on my D700. at f1.4 it's less than the thickness of a your middle finger and it has a dreamy look so don't buy the tack sharp that others say. In bright light it's awful at 1.4 with lots of CA. Stop it down to 2.8 and things start to pull together stop it down to 4 to 5.6 and life is good. Made well big fat glass smooth focus good hood solid metal mount good thick solid composite plastic housing. This is a specialty lens and if you're looking for bubble Bokeh this doesn't do it but it does throw the background out of focus very well. In short it's a great portrait and nighttime medium telephoto lens as long as you're not shooting in serious bright light this lens is a bargain. Me personally would prefer buying the Nikon Nikkor 85mm D AF f1.8 for a little more and have AF. I think that's my next move and be done with wasted shots.Read full review

Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 for Nikon AE
Nicely made lens, meters well with my Nikon D 5300 DSLR. It is manual so you do have to focus it yourself which is no big deal, just have to get used to doing things the old fashion way. I am very used to using Nikon AF lenses and they are very easy to use and sharp. I myself had some problems focusing manually but many of the reviews I read seemed to have no trouble. It is much cheaper than the Nikon 85mm f 1.8 but I am spoiled and will get the Nikon version.

Rokinon 85mm lens - HIGH performance - LOW price.
The obvious attraction of this lens is it's incredibly low price for a very fast prime and that it can be both a portrait and medium telephoto lens if you own both crop and full frame camera bodies. The obvious question you must ask yourself is whether a manual focus and manual stop-down lens will do what you need. Keep in mind that you frequently manually focus a fast lens at full aperture to place the critical point slightly ahead or behind the subject to achieve acceptable focus while maximising the softness of the most obvious foreground or background object that you wish to throw out of focus. If you regularly use a 3.5-5.6 zoom without any performance or viewfinder issues, you can simply pre-set this lens to any of those slower apertures and use it as you would use your zoom. If you are shooting slower than f4 you probably won't see any difference between this lens and your zoom, so you can use your fully automatic lens for those shots. All the major camera manufacturers make excellent and comparably priced automatic f2 or f1.8 85mm lenses, so look closely at the difference between 1.4 and f2 depths of field examples which you can easily see in many commercial photo samples that are frequently shown in published lens tests. Also keep in mind that foregrounds and backgrounds can be selectively blurred in imaging programs. The one unique quality that this lens can provide is focus pulling while you shoot a video on your SLR. There are cinema oriented modified versions of this lens it you anticipate this use for your lens. You will see a MUCH MORE dramatic compression of the depth of field on a full frame body compared to a crop body. I am deliberately avoiding a performance evaluation because those details are better handled by expert professional reviews which are easily found on the internet. They all essentially say the same things. The Rokinon fisheye lens, 24mm, 35mm, and 85mm lenses all perform optically in very similar manners when compared to their much more expensive rivals. Only the Rokinon 24mm tilt/shift and the 14mm have noticeably greater deficiencies, but again the price difference is significant, so if you need these lenses at an affordable cost they still represent reasonable value. I own all these Rokinon lenses and the 500mm f6.3 mirror lens, and I have not experienced any quality control issues mentioned in some reviews. Three of my lenses focus beyond infinity but this is frequently the design of large aperture manual focus lenses to permit greater foreground blurring while still maintaining acceptable sharpness of distant objects. One feature rarely mentioned in professional reviews is that these lenses are made with clockwise or counter clockwise helixes so Pentax, Sony/Minolta, Nikon and Canon versions focus in the same direction as your camera's brand name lenses. Sigma, Tokina, and Tamron lenses do not offer this advantage. Rokinon also uses accurately oriented and indexed aperture rings. Older bodies that optically project the aperture values in their viewfinders perform correctly. Some older Pentax and Nikon bodies will not meter couple, but these lenses can be modified to provide meter coupling. If you are inexperienced with using fast lenses, be prepared for poorer peripheral performance, more challenges in composition to avoid lens flare, and lower contrast especially when shooting against your light source, but these characteristics also occur with more expensive fast lenses.Read full review

Typical Rokinon quality lens
I’ve owned several Rokinon lenses including a fisheye and they all worked great. This 85mm makes images as good as the big name brands at a fraction of the price. This lens is quite sharp wide open at 1.4... It takes a little practice because the DOF is extremely shallow especially on my cropped sensor body. The Rokinon 85mm 1.4 has creamy smooth bokeh as well .

Very happy with the price to performance ratio.
I bought this lens because I had been looking at the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4g and couldn't afford it at this time. I really like the sharpness, creamy bokeh, and ease of use of this lens. The manual focus does take some getting used to but once you've gotten the hang of it, it's really simple and quick. I use this lens for pretty much everything from landscape to portraits and have been very impressed. Highly recommended and I sure would buy it again if I were looking for a fast 85mm lens.
