Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this work for Sony CMOS Sensors? I have a Sony FS700.

A: Yes I am using on my fs700... working great I think rokinon lens work best on Sony camera's

Q: 2. Does anyone know if this works on a GH5?

A: Yes, this will work on a GH5.

Q: 3. will it fit sony a 6000?

A: I love this lens... It fit and works wonderful with the Sony@6000. The colors you get from this lens are amazing.Love it...

Q: 4. Will this work on the Panasonic GH4?

A: Yes it will. Very sharp

Q: 5. Would this work on the Fujifilm X-T2?

A: The Fuji camera has the Fuji X lens mount, this lens is M43 mount, so you would need an adaptor; I don't think one exists. Although this Rokinon says it covers APS-C sensors, it may be impossible to get the M43 lens close enough to the sensor with an adaptor (which may be why adaptors don't seem to exist). So, short answer: no.

Q: 6. Will this work on the Panasonic Lumix GX85 camera ?

A: Yes, this is an MFT mount lens which will work on the GX85.

Q: 7. Is there any disadvantage to buying this lens and using for stills? I like the clickless aperture for video and don't mind the non-fixed f stops.

A: The disadvantage is using it in scenarios where you have to change focus very often and needing metadata. I'm using this lens primarily for stills...something like 80/20 photos/videos. I have zero issues with the lens. While an auto lens would have been helpful--and very much more expensive for a fast lens--I pretty much always shoot on a tripod, aperture priority (or manual) using the full range of T/f stops, at ISO 100. I certainly like the smooth cine T stops (whatever they are called). This lens compliments my use of late 70's Mamiya SLR lenses (using an adapter) on my Sony A6000. It does take a bit of time and practice shooting without auto functions (just like the old days with film). My main use is in real estate, architecture, and landscape imagery.I'm very please with this lens and I would recommend it for the budget conscious or patient photo/videographer.

Q: 8. Will this lens provide aperture/focus remote control with Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K / Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio Pro 4K Live Production Switcher Set-Up?

A: It will not, this is a manual cinema lens. You can only control the aperture and focus on the lens itself.

Q: 9. Does this lens will work on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera?

A: Yes! I bought it for that reason.

Q: 10. Will this lens fit on a Canon 6d? Full frame sensor.

A: No. I order it by mistake.

[12mm] Lens is used with a Point Grey gig E camera. Works quite well with a good minimum focal distance. 5

[C] A great, sharp ultra wide lens for the BMPCC with low chromatic abberation and distortion. It covers the BMPCC and Panasonic GH4 4K sensor. Downside is that this lens has no front filter thread, but if you search diligently enough one of the anamorphic lens holders will clamp onto it. 5

[f/1.4 to 16] fast delivery and easy process. part as expected. 5

[12mm] I bought this lens to use with a In-line process camera for my laser processing work station. This fixed focal length long focal length lens worked perfectly and I was able to zoom the work area with a clear image. I recommend this product srongly for imaging where the working distance is a constraint. 5

[f/1.4 to 16] Was trying out different style lens for this processing machine application. With this one having adjustability for both the Iris and the focus, it really helped for this low light area. We set it, locked down the screws and we are good to go. 5

[12mm] I actually used this lens on my Pentax Q7 with a Fotodiox CM-QM Adapter. Results were amazing: Decently sharp, very wide, good in low light, easy to focus. Can't change the aperture, but whatever. I'm glad I bought this lens. It basically lives on my camera now. 5

[12mm] This 23FM25SP lens can even be used on 1 CCDs with a little dark vignetting at the corners. If you don't mind paying almost twice as much for a much bigger 25mm f/1.4 lens, you would do better with the 2/3 25mm f/1.4 Fujinon HF25SA-1, but otherwise the 23FM25SP is a great compact lens, superior to the cheaper M118FM25 and 23FM25L Tamron lenses. 5

[0.175 lb] I used this lens on a cross-country road trip, using the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera on a suction mount inside the cabin of a truck. Even looking through the window glass, when I switched lenses from a high end Nikkor Zoom to the Kowa 6mm, during the edit, you could see the marked jump in acuity. Given the lack of filter potential (a weakness for a native ISO 800 camera) I could only use this lens at the very beginning and end of the day when shooting in the truck. There was no room for a matte box system, needed to get an ND working. This lens will stand up to most any prime lens, and is a welcome (wide angle, finally!) addition to any pro shooting situation with the Pocket Cinema Camera. 5
