They are good lenses...In the States the most common brand name used for them is Rokinon and many people swear by them. Unlike the Zeiss 85mm f1.4 Planar T* they can be used wide open without CA or...

I use a Nikon Micro Nikkor 200mm f4 ED IF Ai-S (Nikons best macro lens IMO) and I have found that it works great with the excellent quality Canon 500D close up lenses.
On full frame cameras the lens...
