Utilizing a multi-layer coating process for consistent color rendition from lens to lens the Rokinon 24mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Sony Eanswers the challenge of assembling a set of lenses over time. The lens comes in a Sony E-Mount and 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 24mm lens produces a 84.1° FOV when used with full-frame cameras. Hybrid aspherical lenses render sharply defined images with a minimum of distortion and chromatic aberrations, with a minimum focus distance of just under 10" from the lens. A removable petal shaped lens hood provides flare protection when shooting without a matte box, the lenses threaded front accepts a 77mm filter ring.

Please note that some cameras may require that Shutter Lock be disengaged when using this lens.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. what is the AOV on a BMPCC super 16 size sensor ??

A: The original Pocket Cinema Camera has a 2.88x crop factor. This would be the equivalent of a 69mm lens on that camera.

Q: 2. How well would this work on a Canon Rebel T5i?

A: This lens covers full frame so it will easily cover the smaller APS-C/Super35 sensor of the Rebel T5i. The image and build quality is a bargain at this price. Do know this is all manual, both focus and iris rings. There is no electronic communication between the camera and the lens so no lens metadata. The iris ring is click-less so smooth iris pulls can be made shooting video.

Q: 3. Is there a replacement hood available?

A: This lens does have a removable hood, however we do not have that available for a separate purchase. Feel free to email us directly at provideo@bhphoto.com and we can guide you in the right direction for a replacement part.

Q: 4. Can you use a 80mm front diameter clip on matte box with this?

A: We would need more info about the matte box that you intend to use to give you a definitive answer. The Rokinon lens has ridges on the outside for mounting the included lens hood therefore an 80mm matte box would not be able to mount directly to the lens but it would work via a filter thread adapter (this is how the SmallRig Lightweight Carbon Fiber Matte Box works). On the other hand some matte boxes are adjustable and can stretch within a certain range such as the Wooden Camera 2-Stage Clamp-On 4 x 5.65" Zip Box (80-85mm)

Q: 5. What is the difference between this lens that costs $584.00and the Samyang 24mm T1.5 VDSLRII Cine Lens for Micro Four Thirds Mount that cost $699.00?

A: No difference since they are made exactly the same except for the name badge. I would get the Rokinon. It normally is more expensive but it is on special sale right now with a limited supply.

Q: 6. Do you have to disengage shutter lock if using Rokinon 24mm T1.5 cine DS lens on a 5D mark ii?

Q: 7. Does it support auto focus?

A: No, the Rokinon 24mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Micro Four Thirds Mount is a fully manual lens.

Q: 8. What exactly is the difference between these Cine DS lenses compared to their equivalent non-DS lenses? I get that the DS lenses have some new markings to make it easier to look at focus and adjust exposure. But what is the difference in the DS lens that makes it cost about $200 more?Also, what different markings are there on the lens that make it obvious this is a Cine DS lens compared to the previous models? If you were looking at the two side by side, how could you tell the difference?

A: ) All of the gears are unified among all Rokinon Cine DS lenses. The focus and aperture gears are exactly aligned so that the user does not have to re-adjust his/her follow focus when swapping out lenses. 2) The new Cine DS lenses now feature dual focusing scales, one on each side. 3) All of the Cine DS lenses are tested to be color matched to provide the same color & contrast in video production.
