Rokinon 85MAF-N 85mm F1.4 on a Nikon D810

7 years 10 months ago #483710 by Peter Nunez
I have a job coming up that I don't want to travel with to much $$ gear, so going cheap where I can.  $329 for a f/1.4 85mm, how much a head ache am I up for with this lens?  

I don't know why I'm posting now, I already ordered it.  Well, leave your 2 cents if you can.  Thank you.

How long will you be gone? Depending on how long you could just rent the Nikon 85 f/1.4G.
