Full Frame Cine Lenses

[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.

[Part 15 Class B] I recently acquired a full set of Rokinon Cine DS Lenses and was looking for a protective case to transport them with. This is a hefty flight case but it's top quality for what it is. There are alternative brands out there but they were much more expensive and seem to accomplish the same goal. I also love the fact it has wheels which makes transporting it even easier!

[1.6 oz / 45.4 g] My two new cinema lenses are for Sony full frame. Actually I first chose this for the particular focal length and rectilinear properties. Then I decided to try video making. Why not? * I've had good luck with Rok/Sam products. Not tested yet (where is summer?). These are solid, substantial lenses. Gotta love 'em, and the examples I've tested have not been de-centred. -

[Shoulder Strap] Sublime materials and construction. I use it for full frame 35mm SLR and two extra lenses, or the 35mm camera and a medium format camera.

[25mm] Rather than go with full frame, I've been shooting with the more economical APS-C lenses and they've been working out great. Be sure to adapt your settings on the Canon, as it is full manual. I have become a huge fan of cine lenses because they are built beautifully, with smooth focus and aperture rings. Super sharp, handles focus pull cleanly with no perceivable focus breathing. Love these Meike lenses! I'm buying them one at a time, as budget permits. And thankfully, they are at a very reasonable price given their high quality and special purpose. Not feeling any urge to go back to photography lenses these days, and certainly questioning whether to return to OEM Canon lenses, since these are 1/10th the price.

[Additional] My full frame cameras became to heavy and bulky for traveling. The OM 5, even with several lenses, is a lighter more manageable system. The image stabilization lets me leave the tripod home while allowing me to get sharp photos. Highly recommend.

[0.395 lb] Just what I needed for the C70. Love that I now have the full frame look with my full frame EF L lenses on the C70. And so far I've had no issues with communication. I've used EF L lenses: 100-400, 24-70, 16-35, 24 1.4, 50, 135 2, 85 1.4, and 35mm f/2 (non-Ll) for gimbal use. Plus I get another stop with all the lenses. Here's a frame grab with the 100-400 at 400.

[21 mm] For the price of just the camera body for most other brands, this one comes with two useful kit lenses. 20-60mm on a full frame is quite a nice lens for travel. And 50mm is always a great, first time prime, for any camera system.
