For the next 5 days Rokinon is offering $50 off their 85mm f/1.4 manual focus lens. Rokinon sells their lenses as photography and cine versions. And are very well regarded as a quality and inexpensive alternative to Canon’s lenses. The cine versions are great for DSLR video because they have focus threads built in for a follow focus. And they have de-clicked (or silent and fluid) aperture. And if you don’t mind manual focus, these are also great for photography.
It’s already a bargain priced lens, but $50 off puts it at $299! Really tempted to order one myself. Available for Canon, Nikon, Sony Alpha and NEX.
