Bell and Howell 85mm f/1.4 AKA Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Aspherical. This is a fun lens to use but it definitely takes time to get the hang of it. Like most lenses it has it's own personality and it will take time to get aquatinted Don't use it once and think you have it figured out, every lens is vary particular.
Pros:
-Big Apature (1.4) lets in a lot of light
-Sharp wide open (1.4)
-Solid build feel
-Focus ring smooth
-Cheap
Cons :
-Shallow Depth of Field makes it hard to manual focus
-May not last as long
-Not as vibrant colors
-Manual focus only
