First test run with the Samyang 135. There's a clear tilt issue—either the belt is too tight or there's some misalignment somewhere. I'll figure it out; I don't think it's anything critical. I covered the lens hood to prevent any flare for sure, installed step-down rings from 77mm to 55mm, and left the aperture wide open at f/2 to avoid diffraction spikes. Overall, there's something to work with.
