AF not working on C70 with .71x canon speedbooster adapter?
Asked by: John Daniel
If the autofocus on the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 AF Lens for Canon EF is not working on the Canon EOS C70 Cinema Camera (RF Mount) when using the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x, you may need to update the firmware of your lens. You may purchase the Rokinon Lens Station for Canon EF, B&H # ROIOLSC, to update the lens' firmware to the most recent version from Rokinon.

Has the build quality improved from the non-AF version? One year after purchase the aperture of my manual focus Rokinon won't go higher than f/5.6 and I'm weary of buying the AF version because of that.
Asked by: Alexandre
It is a very good idea to get one of the new AF version lenses, the build quality is better.

Does anyone know how quiet, fast and accurate the focus motor is? How does it compare with the Canon L-Series 1.2 85mm?

I'm not seeing any reviews or test photos from this lens. How does it compare to the non-AF version in terms of sharpness, etc.? Why is this Rokinon more expensive than the Samyang version? I would have assumed they were the same.
Asked by: Josh
The new version of the lens has 9 blade diaphragm instead of 8 like the older manual lens. It uses a 77mm filter thread in stead of a 72mm size. The biggest change however is the addition of auto focus. The Samyang and Rokinon versions currently have the same price.
