I am selling this great lens because I am no longer using Nikon camera. I have used this in the past for great milky way images. It is a manual focus lens.

It is on sale at B&H for $279, regular price is $349. I am asking $200 plus shipping in contUSA.


Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 AF Overview
The 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Lens for Nikon with AE Chip from Rokinon gives you approximately a 115° view with dramatic results when used with a full frame digital camera or 35mm film camera. It includes a special chip that allows the lens to work with the camera's focus confirm, auto exposure, auto metering and auto white balance functions. With hybrid aspherical lenses, you will produce sharply defined images with a minimum of distortion and chromatic aberrations. This manual focus 14mm lens focuses as close as 0.9' / 28cm from the lens, and has a built-in petal-type lens hood. With some cameras, Shutter Lock must be disengaged on the camera's menu.

I am not sure if you are looking for a critique.
IMHO, I like the concept. I do think the person should be a bit larger and a bit more prominent. The light on the trail is where my eye goes to, the brightest part of the image. I would suggest burning that down, making the person a bit larger and a bit lighter, so the viewer clearly sees the person. Maybe even cropping some off the bottom of the image. The interest is in the person and the sky, I don't think you need so much foreground.

I love playing with photoshop and creating composites. You did a great job, just needs a bit of tweaking.

Thanks so much. I agree and used it often. Now I am using Sony cameras. Just don't need t his one anymore.

I am selling a A6500 plus a Sony 16-70 F4 lens. I do love Sony and have been slowly selling off my Nikon gear. I now have 2 full frame Sonys.

pm me if anyone is interested.

I am selling a Rokinon 14 mm F2.8 lens for $250 plus shipping. It was suggested to me by a B&H man. It is a manual lens, works great. I have used it for photographing the milky way.

I am also selling a Nikon 28-300, it is a great walk around lens.

pm me if interested

I am selling my Nikon gear, as I am now using Sony. The lens is in great condition, some minor signs of wear, uv filter always on, lens clean. I did have to put a bit of tape on the hood as it kept falling off.
I am asking $600 plus shipping in ContUSA.

Also selling a Rokinon 14 mm F2.8 manual focus lens for $250

F-Mount Lens/FX Format
Aperture Range: f/3.5 to f/22
Three Aspherical and Two ED Elements
Covering an immense wide to tele range, the AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR from Nikon is a versatile all-in-one zoom designed for FX-format cameras. Helping to maintain high image quality throughout the extensive 10.7x zoom range is an advanced optical design that uses aspherical and extra-low dispersion glass to suppress aberrations and distortion. A Super Integrated Coating is also used to minimize flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy.

All-in-one zoom, covering wide-angle to telephoto focal lengths, is designed for Nikon F-mount FX-format cameras, however it can also be used with DX models where it provides a 42-450mm equivalent focal length range.
Three aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realize sharp imagery with accurate rendering.
Two extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color accuracy.
A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design is also used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.

I have a carbon fiber tripod and last year bought a Fotopro E-6H Eagle Series Gimbal Head. It is absolutely the best head. It can be used for a long lens, gimbal or for landscape images. It folds completely flat and weighs a bit more than a pound.
I didn't buy their tripod because I already had one that I was happy with.
It is a bit pricey but well worth it as it will be the only head needed for all photography needs.
