Are you from Italy?

I just received my Samyang 12mm from foto-klik.si for €299 (I'm from the Netherlands, and the price is including shipping)

It's a camera shop in Ljubljana - Slovenia. Orders can be payed by Paypal. 

It's send by GLS with a great track & trace

I really recommend them considering this shipment

 

OH, and it comes with a free Samyang 67mm protection filter ! (not that I use one, but it's the thought .. )

My Rokinon 12mm finally arrived!!! Yeah!!!

 

I could not test it out much today but I was able to take a few shots.

 

I went past this beautiful tree near my house the other day, so today i took a detour and stopped there for a shot.  Funny thing that I thought I was far enough, where I would usually stop for the shot, and with the 12mm I was infact pretty far away.  I took the shot below from this place.  I did crop a bit the shot, and did some editing in LR.

Then I realized I had to get closer, if I wanted to fill the frame with the tree, and took this other shot:

I actually should have gone closer, but the wife and kids were in the car waiting...so...some other time.

 

We went to the mall so I took some shots to test it out inside:

Last one was a stealth shot making of kind of.  The shot did not really come out that good. I did some cropping but this is in a really small elevator.  The possibilities...

Hello.  I have a question.  I was looking at my shots with the rokinon 12mm and the lens information does not show in the Exif.  I know that the lens has manual focus and can't send the aperture information either, but I thought that at least the lens information would be placed in the Exif.  Only the focal lenght is there because I included it manually in the camera.

 

Is there a way to add, in Lightroom, the lens information to the Exif?

 

Thank you.

So..I was doing another test shot with the Rokinon 12mm.  I decided to shoot out the window.  The shot below is straight out of the camera.  No editing.  ISO 3200, shutter at 1" and f/2.  Kind of handheld leaning against the window.  There is a black area on the top right.  That is a cross section of the net I have in my porch so the kids won't fall out.  You can also see it on the bottom left.

 

What do you think of the shot?  I was kind of impressed.  Not that good a shot really.  I should have done some straightening, but, I think it shows some cool possibilities. 

 

You might want to head over to flickr to see it larger.

For all the "bokeh lovin' flower close-up guys" out there: ;)

 

Cause of its minimum focus distance of 0,2m and the f/2.0 this lens has huge potential for these kind of shots!!! I really love the bokeh of this little ultra-wide-angle!!!!

The shots are slightly edited jpeg snapshots without any perspective correction. (for full size click the image and choose original size on Flickr)

Hope you like it.

    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
    • How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
