I owned the Canon 85mm 1.8 for a while and it was a good lens but I hated the colors. I also owned a Sigma 85mm 1.4 and the rokinon preforms pretty close optically. $960 vs $269

Thanks! We took her in about 3 months ago. She showed up at our door starving with a respriatory infection so we put her on meds. Now she just raises hell!

Cats seem to know where to go. We had a mother cat and two very small kittens show up on a freezing day a couple years ago. My wife brought them in before the kittens froze to death. The mother cat, as it turned out, was dying of cancer. Her last few months with us were warm and comfortable at least. The kittens are now two very rambunctious adult cats.

Hi Mark,
I ordered the rokinon 85mm canon mount today... Will be there in couple of days. Since the AF confirmation chip takes a long time to arrive, i wanted to order one today... I can use the link.. Is that the only chip i need to buy or any adapter... ? I am a newbie to DSLR photography. Any help is appreciated..
