I am trying to save my self some time in post and wondered if anyone had any recommended lenses that matched well with the Rokinons (24mm, 35mm, 85mm) in terms of color temperature, contrast and sharpness. I need a 50 (1.4) an approximate 135 (2.8), plus some zooms. Any suggestions?
 
The Rokinons look really similar to the older Canons- FD. I suspect that the patent on those expired after 20 years and that's why the Rokinons appeared.
An older Canon FD 50 f1.4 and 135 F2 would be ideal- maybe get it converted to EF.
I think the ef mounted older canons would work just as well. edit- Sorry no genuine EF lens would work since they all have the eletronic iris
The 135 is not the cheapest but the 50 can be had for peanuts.
Being full manual the FDs would play nice with the Rokinons..
