I got into photography a few years ago, but don't have much time for it these days. Help me get some value out of my gear by renting it :)

Includes: Original tripod collar, Kirk NC-200-500 Arca-compatible tripod collar, Lens hood
INCLUDES
OWNER NOTES
In excellent condition -- no scratches on glass, no marks or scratches on barrel of lens.
I have an Arca-compatible tripod collar for this that I will include for no change, if you like.
My lens the f/1.4 photography model, rather than the T/1.5 cine model. This means it has aperture clicks, and has rubber on the focusing ring instead of gear teeth. An ultra-bright lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4. It's compact and lightweight, and offers the ideal focal length and bright aperture for use as a portrait lens. This Rokinon lens (also sold under the Samyang and Bower brands) offers optical performance rivaling that of the Nikon 85 f/1.4G AF-S, despite costing a fraction as much. This lens is manual focus, but does include electronics that communicate with Nikon DSLRs to indicate focal length and aperture, so even entry-level bodies like the D3200 can use this lens in all metering modes. (Lenses without these electronics, such as Nikon AI or AI-S lenses, can only be used in mode M on entry level bodies, and modes M and A on higher-end bodies.) The focusing ring is smooth and well-damped, so very fine focus adjustments are easy.

Wide open at f 1.2 the depth of field is very shallow and one can isolate the subject completely from the environment. Very sharp at f/2.0.

The manual focus 24mm f2 Nikkor AI-S lens remains one of the best fast wide angle lenses Nikon ever made.

It's fast (fixed f/2.8), solid (built like a tank), produces great quality image, and is perfect for shooting indoor sports!
