I have the Opteka branded lens. I love the way it handles flare and direct light.

I would like to ask you what is the better way to have decent exposures.Are you using shutter priority?Aperture?Manual and auto Iso?Manual and a handheld light meter? Shutter priority works (Aperture priority doesn't do anything). I usually mount the lens and take a couple test shots in Shutter mode, and adjust Exposure Compensation as needed. This works pretty well for me. I could see a situation in which you'd want to use Program AE if you want to minimize ISO noise and aren't taking pictures of anything fast, but I am not sure I've ever tried that. 70D | Rokinon 8mm | 15-85mm | Sigma 30mm | 85mm 1.8 | 55-250mm | 430EX

If I understand your comments, I do not agree. I use Aperture Priority all the time with this lens and it works perfectly. Just manually set the Aperture that you want and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed to achieve the correct exposure I always want C&C on my shots.

Aperture Priority is the way to go on a manual-aperture lens, IMHO. Using shutter priority is bizarre and just won't work, as far as I can see - I mean, how would the camera set the aperture? Rich

When I use my 8mm in low light I wanna be down around 1/13 and this way my ISO is as low as I can get it...

Works great. OK, I can see how it would work with auto ISO. Rich
