Cine Lens For Sony Full Frame

[1.6 oz / 45.4 g] There are two 16mm Rokinon cine lenses - this one which is slower, cannot take screw on filters, and covers full frame sensors, and the other lens with is faster, takes screw on filters, and will not cover full frame sensors. Both 16mm lenses are faster than the Rokinon 14mm, making either a good choice if you need both wide and fast glass. This lens has a built in hood, good feeling focus wheel, and takes good images. I’ve found it to be plenty sharp fully open and consistent across the frame, though I doubt this lens would come close to a famously sharp lens like a Sigma. If you don’t care about the sensor coverage, I would go with the faster and filter-compatible of the two - bit of you do need full frame coverage and want something fast and good looking, this is a solid and very reasonably priced cine lens.

[12mm] The value in these Rokinon Cine lenses is hard to beat. I also have the 24, 35, 50, 85 and 8mm. The 8mm is not a full frame lens and has to be cropped significantly, so I wouldn’t recommend it. I really like this 12mm full frame though. Something about the drama of a super wide lens for interior/exterior architecture especially. I like being able to capture a full floor to ceiling shot in a vertical composition. The attached photos (w/ Sony a7rII and Metabones adapter) were all handheld, generally around 1/30-1/100 @ 5.6 aperture. The interiors were pretty dark and I was bracketing, so… I noticed one or both edges were a bit blurry at times, but with slow shutter speeds in awkward positions, I was pretty unstable.

[Nikon F] Rokinon 16mm T2.6 Full Frame Cine DS Lens (Nikon F Mount) is a great lens, nice flat field and clear image. Since Nikon is discontinuing so many lenses, we had to try this one and are happy to look at more Rokinon lenses as Nikon seems to be on it's heels with F-mount lenses, which we will need for years to come.

[1.495 lb] Great quality and amazing sharpness.. This lens is a must for any photographer using their full frame sony.

[4.3 oz / 122 g] Well made. Mates solidly with both M42 lens and Sony E-mount (full-frame) camera body. Tests with both macro and conventional focusing were successful.

[Full-Frame] I was a little hesitant about buying this, since I already have an older Voigtlander 15mm from the film era that just wasn't very good with digital, especially for full frame. But since this received such positive reviews, and it's just the right focal length I wanted, I wanted to check it out. I was so pleasantly surprised by how well this lens performed, in terms of sharpness, vignette and chromatic control, form wide open to fully stopped down! In Particular, the dreaded infrared hot spot was not severe and could be easily corrected in post processing - I wanted to use the lens primarily on a Sony A7R that's been converted to infrared. The weight and size of the lens is perfect, though larger and heavier than its distant film era counterpart, is close to many of the other Sony full frame lenses, a joy to carry and use.

[2x] I was concerned with using this lens on a Sony a7R3 full frame camera. This lens does just fine as long as you aren't shooting anything more than 2-3 ft away, then you do see the heavy vignette. I'm primarily going to use this lens for macro work between 1x-2x that my other 1x macro lens cannot produce. At that close range there is no noticeable vignette.

[9, Rounded] I come from a full frame Canon background and I recently picked up this lens for a Sony Alpha 6000 to use as a webcam. It not only performs like a champ as a webcam, it shoots photos well. AF speed is decently fast. It's certainly not the fastest but it's def on the fast side. Sharpness is also very good. I've seen sharper lenses but as a prime 1.4, its photos are pretty sharp. The size is large for a Sony mirrorless APS-C, but coming from full-frame lens world, this lens is much smaller than what I'm used to. It attracts less attention when you're outside. Overall, this is a relatively cheap lens that performs well on a Sony mirrorless body. I don't think you can go wrong with this if you're looking for a wide angle prime. Haven't really done portrait shots, but as a talking head zoom camera, it does its job really well. There are also many YouTube review videos and the they're very positive. I recommend you check them out as well. Thank you!

[f/22] My first full frame lens and loving it.
