For mirrorless shooters, or anyone that needs to cover a Super35 sized sensor, this Rokinon Cine DS 5 Lens Kit Canon EF Mountutilizes 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 Canon EF 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 79.5° 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this lens a match with the Red Scarlet Mysterium-x ?How heavy is package ?

A: The SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X has a sensor than is bigger than Super35/APS-C but smaller than full frame. Since these lenses cover full frame, you are OK to use these or any other full frame lenses. All lenses together weigh approximately 8.6 lbs / 3.9 kg.

Q: 2. What are the focus ring's threads measurement for a follow focus rig I'm purchasing with this?

A: I'm not the DP, just the guy that bought them for the company. HOWEVER, the focus ring is standard and should work with any professional follow focus. In our case a Redrock system.

Q: 3. What's the main difference between this lens and the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine AS UMC Lens?

A: DS lenses, regardless of focal length, are all the same size so that if you have a set of them, you won't have to adjust your follow focus when you switch out. The Ds lenses also have matching color temperatures, while other lenses may vary a slight bit. The DS lens will be more conveiniet if you own other DS lenses

Q: 4. Is there any problem with getting the Nikon mount and adapters for Canon EF and Sony E?

A: You can use this adapter for Nikon to Canon mounts. I like it for it has the focus aid. FotodioX Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Nikon F Lens to Canon EF-Mount Camera with Dandelion Focus Confirmation Chip B&H # FOPCECANF. You can use the Vello Nikon F Mount Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Adapter B&H # VELANEXNF.

Q: 5. Can I used for photography purposes? what's the difference between a photo lens?

A: It can be used for photos, however you will be unable to autofocus at all since there are no electronic connections with the camera. This will perform similarly to other Rokinon manual lenses, but what makes it designed for video is the focusing gears for use with a follow focus system. If you're using this for photos keep in mind those gears may be uncomfortable to focus with your hand. Another difference is the de-clicked aperture ring that is measured in T-stops instead of F-Stops. No clicks means a smooth change of light coming in so exposure changes don't look choppy in video. T stops are an actual measurement of light that comes through the lens, whereas F stops are ratios and an f/1.4 may let more or less light in from lens to lens. The numbers will still yield similar results, so T/1.5 on this lens is close to an F/1.4 or 1.8 on a photo lens, just a different method of marking it. This lens can also be a little long and heavy depending on what you're pairing it with (would look ridiculous on an a6500 or something small), so another option is the newer Rokinon AF 35mm that might be better for photos and is much more compact

Q: 6. How much cinematic quality does this lens get? Like, Netflix show/film level quality? Or more?

A: This is designed to be an affordable, entry level Cinema Lens. It will provide very nice quality, however Netflix has a list of approved cameras for streaming on their platform. Those cameras on there require high bit rate and low compression options for better results. The lenses people use with those cameras will usually offer higher quality optics to go along with the higher quality video file.

Q: 7. Can I use this lens with Sony Fs700R EF mount?

A: The Sony FS700R comes with a Sony E mount, not a Canon EF mount. You can get an adapter such as this: FotodioX Canon EF/EF-S Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Vizelex ND Throttle Adapter B&H # FOVNDTACS. With such an adapter, you can use the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Canon EF Mount on the FS700R camcorder.

Q: 8. there are full frame?

A: If you have a full frame camera, this would work perfectly well because it is not an APS-C mount.

Q: 9. Can I use this lens on lumix g7

A: Yes, this is an MFT mount lens. It will work with the Lumix G7.

Q: 10. Since this is a manual lens, what adapter do I need to get this to fit an EF mount cam?

A: As the flange distance between an EF mount to sensor (more distance) and Micro-Four Thirds/MFT (less distance) mount to sensor varies, an EF mount lens can be mounted to a MFT mount (with adapter), however an MFT mount lens will unfortunately not be able to be mounted to an EF mount, with an adapter. If there was such an adapter, the lens would likely also vignette with its MFT mount, it is a smaller mount opening. In short, the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Micro Four Thirds Mount, would not be compatible with an EF mount camera.
