For mirrorless shooters, or anyone that needs to cover a Super35 sized sensor, this Rokinon 16mm T2.2 Cine DS Lens for Sony Eutilizes a multi-layer coating process for consistent color rendition from lens to lens. With consistent coatings the lens answers the challenge of assembling a set of lenses over time. The lens comes in Sony E 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. A removable petal shaped lens hood provides flare protection when shooting without a matte box, and the lens's threaded front accepts 77mm filter rings.

This 16mm lens produces 83.1° angle of view when used with a camera with an APS-C sensor. Hybrid aspherical lenses render sharply defined images with a minimum of distortion and chromatic aberrations and feature a minimum focus distance of 7.9"' from the lens.

Ultra Multicoated 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.

Features industry-standard gearing for focus and aperture rings. Each lens in the Rokinon DS series shares 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 an 8-bladed iris that provides round out-of-focus highlights and a natural-looking Bokeh. The declicked aperture ring allows for smooth iris pulls.

A removable lens hood provides flare protection without a matte box.

The lens opens up to T2.2, providing the capability for low light shooting or creating a shallow depth of field.

Q: 1. Can I use this with the BMPCC 4K with a SpeedBooster Ultra (.71)? Even though it's an ASPC lens will it work?

A: Your focal length magnification will differ but you can use the Rokinon 16mm T2.2 Cine DS Lens for Canon EF Mount for APS-C with a Speedbooster Ultra (.71x).

Q: 2. I am wondering if this lens works ok with the metabones speedbooster and the sony fs5?

A: Unfortunately, no it will not. A Speedbooster works it's magic of changing a lenses field of view and making it brighter by making the lens's image circle smaller. The problem is if you do that with this lens and the FS5, the image circle is too small for the cameras sensor. A straight EF to E mount adapter would work because this lens is for APS-C and makes a image circle that can cover Super35.

Q: 3. What will this give on a 1.6 crop factor sensor like Canon SL2? will it maintain it actual size or magnify it

A: The Rokinon 16mm T2.2 Cine DS Lens for Canon EF Mount for APS-C cameras will not give you a crop factor if used with APS-C camera like the SL2 or a Super 35 mm camera. A case where you would have a crop factor would be if your lens was a full frame and you were mounting it to an APS-C/35 mm sensor camera. Then the crop factor would be 1.6. A crop factor exists only when the sensor size is smaller than the lens size.

Q: 4. Will this lens work on the cannon 6d?

A: Not really. The image circle from this lens is designed for APS-C size sensors, not full frame sensors such as what are used in the Canon 6D, 5D series, and 1D series EOS cameras. A full frame sensor will reproduce a circular image. with a black border. The 14mm lens is designed for full frame sensors.

Q: 5. I see this isn't listed as a full frame lens, I own a Canon 5d mark IV any issues for full frame cameras?

A: While you could mount this on your 5D Mark IV, it is not recommended for you to do so. That is because the resultant image will have severe blackening of the corners known as vignetting. There are no affordable 16mm full frame lenses. But your are in luck in that there are 14mm full frame lenses available. Here is one we can recommend. Rokinon 14mm T3.1 Cine DS Lens for Canon EF Mount B&H # RO1431C.

Q: 6. Hello there, can this lens be used with a cmos sensor?

A: Yes, this lens can be used with a CMOS sensor.

Q: 7. Will this work with a super 35 sensor? More specifically Ursa Mini 4k?

A: Yes. APS-C is Super 35

Q: 8. does this lens offer Image stabilization?

A: No. This is a prime lens with no special stabilizing mechanics to it.

Q: 9. Does it fish eye at all - or just a solid wide lens?

A: There is some barrel distortion that will be seen in shooting straight lines and doing pans. However, it is not severe and is in keeping with other wide angle lenses of this focal length. In other words, no fish-eye effect.

Q: 10. Will this lense work with the Nikon D3100?

A: The Nikon D3100 is an DX/APS-C size sensor camera and this is a DX/APS-C lens so you are good to go.
