Utilizing a nano coating process for consistent color rendition from lens to lens, the Rokinon Cine DS Wide-Angle Lens for APS-C MFTanswers the challenge of assembling a set of lenses over time. The lens comes in MFT mount, and it features industry standard geared focus and iris rings that share common position with other Rokinon Cine DS lenses. To aid focus pullers who have to work both sides of the lens, the aperture and focus scales are marked on both sides of the lens.

This 10mm lens produces a 93.4° angle-of-view when used on cameras with Four Thirds-sized sensors. Hybrid aspherical lenses render sharply defined images with a minimum of distortion and chromatic aberrations, with a minimum focus distance of 7.9" from the lens. A built-in petal shaped lens hood provides flare protection when shooting without a matte box.

Nano Coated lenses minimize flare and ghosting, and the lenses are color matched to a standard, eliminating the need to acquire an entire set of lenses at the same time.

Industry-standard gearing for focus and aperture rings. Each lens in the Rokinon DS series share common focus and iris gear ring positions, which speeds up lens changes as accessories, such as follow focus units or iris motors, don't have to be re-positioned.

The lens features an internal focus mechanism, so the front of the lens doesn't rotate when changing focus, allowing you to use filters and clip-on matte boxes without vignetting as you change (pull) focus.

The lens features a 6-bladed iris that provides round out of focus highlights and a natural looking Bokeh. The declicked aperture ring allows for smooth iris pulls.

Q: 1. can be mounted on canon t4i camera?

A: The Rokinon 10mm T3.1 Cine DS Lens with Canon EF Mount for APS-C is compatible with the Canon T4I.

Q: 2. Do you recommend on a gimbal? Do I need to rebalance when I change the lens?

A: Yes a gimbal may need to be rebalanced depending on which lens is being used on the camera.

Q: 3. in aps-c camera it's produces 16mm or 10mm

A: The Rokinon 10mm T3.1 Cine DS Lens will always be a 10mm lens; it cannot change. What changes is the FOV (Field of View) it produces on different sensors. On an APS-C camera, this lens provides a 96 FOV. To get a 96FOV on a Full Frame camera, you would need a 16mm lens. In the long run, I suggest dropping crop factor for it causes confustion. Learn what the wide-normal-tele lens focal lengths are for the sensor you are using then drop calculating FOV equivalents for a sensor size you are not using.

Q: 4. what is the differnce between this lens and Rokinon 10mm T3.1 Cine Lens for Canon EF Mount?

A: The Cine DS stands for Dual Side focus barrel marking. This means the focus puller can see a lens focus scale no matter what side of the camera they are on. The Cine lens on the other hand, has focus markings only on the left side of camera. The DS is also supposed to signify that the coatings are uniform among all DS lenses. However the Cine lenses seem to claim the same thing. So it comes down to whether or not you think $139 for a second focus scale is important.

Q: 5. Are these lens in the bundle anamorphic or spherical?

A: The Rokinon Cine DS Lens Bundle for Sony E-Mount are spherical lenses.

Q: 6. I need this lens to take photographs only. What is the difference (besides the price) between buying this lens from the other rokinon 10mm?

A: The glass elements of both the Rokinon 10mm T3.1 Cine DS Lens with Sony E Mount for APS-C and the Rokinon 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS Lens for Sony E-Mount are for all intents and purposes, the same. Therefore you will get the same image quality with both lenses and even the same brightness since f/2.8 and T/3.1 allow the same amount of light through. The difference comes with the housing and the purpose the lens is for, video or stills. For you, get the 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS Lens since it is much more affordable and you do not need the other lens's video gears.

Q: 7. Are these lenses able to transmit data back to the camera?

A: No they're not able to transmit data back to the camera, but the effort to view the waveforms to determine accurate levels, or using a light meter, or both, is well, well, worth it. These are incredibly sharp lenses and to me are a tremendous value!!

Q: 8. Hi There,I have a SONY A7Sii Camera with a FULL FRAME SENSOR. (Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with APS-C.) Could you please tell me, how does this lens perform with FULL FRAME camera sensors (such as the one on the A7Sii)?Would there be any performance issues of any kind? In advance, thank you for any help/advice you can offer! I really appreciate it!

A: If you were to mount this lens on a full frame sensor camera, the image circle it produces would be too small to cover the entire sensor. The result will be severe darkening of the corners of the frame. This is called vignetting. While sometimes this is a desired effect, generally it is to be avoided.

Q: 9. Does the Rokinon 10mm T3.1 Cine DS lens has a filter thread?

A: The 10mm T3.1 Cine DS Lens with Canon EF Mount for APS-C does not offer a filter thread.

Q: 10. How do these cine lenses fare for fashion and art photography.Also does anyone know how well they would work the Sony Alpha a7rii with the metabones adaptor?

A: Cine lenses, even these affordable ones, have some criteria that are higher than still lenses. In regard to these Rokinon's that means the T Stop on one lens lets in the exact amount of light on all of them. F/stops on still lenses vary from one lens to the other. Also these are uniformly coated to have the same color and flare control in all the lenses. In addition to these two features, the lenses are uniformly sharp. Therefore they will work image wise for any type of photography. Keep in mind however, these are manual only. In the heat of still photo battle, I would think you will miss the instant button push of focus and aperture control.
