Quality glass with very sharp image for the price of a kit lens. I use it on a Sony A7SII and it is just beautiful.

I have been a fan of the manual focus lenses that Rokinon puts out, I originally bought two for my micro 4/3 camera and this new lens is pairing with my Sony a7 II. So far I have been pleased with the quality of the images.

Earlier this year, Korean optics company Rokinon released its 50mm f/1.4 lens, and it was met with high praise for being a great value for the money.

Quality glass with very sharp image for the price of a kit lens. I use it on a Sony A7SII and it is just beautiful.
After meticulous design and engineering, the Rokinon 50mm F1.4 Lens emerges as a premier choice for Canon EF Mount photographers seeking impeccable image quality and creative control. This lens boasts a classic 50mm focal length, revered by professionals and enthusiasts alike for its versatility in a wide range of photography genres, from portraits to landscapes. The full-frame compatibility ensures that users can capture images with a natural perspective and a field of view closely resembling that of the human eye.
With its ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, the lens excels in low light conditions, allowing photographers to achieve crisp, clear shots even in dimly lit environments. This wide aperture also empowers photographers to isolate their subjects with a shallow depth of field, delivering stunningly sharp subjects against a beautifully blurred background, a technique often used to draw attention and add an artistic touch to photographs.
For those using cameras with an APS-C format sensor, the lens offers a 35mm equivalent focal length of 80mm, providing a slightly longer perspective that is ideal for flattering portraits and detailed close-up shots.
The optical construction of the Rokinon 50mm F1.4 is sophisticated, featuring 9 elements in 6 groups. This includes one hybrid aspherical element and one aspherical element, both of which are instrumental in reducing chromatic aberrations and enhancing image clarity, contrast, and color fidelity. The Ultra Multi-Coating applied to the lens elements serves to maximize light transmission while suppressing lens flare and ghosting, ensuring that each photo maintains the highest possible quality.
The lens's eight diaphragm blades are engineered to form a nearly circular aperture, which contributes to the aesthetically pleasing quality of the out-of-focus areas, or bokeh. This feature is particularly beneficial for portrait and macro photography, where a smooth background can make the subject stand out.
As a fully manual lens, the Rokinon 50mm F1.4 offers tactile precision with a rubberized focus ring, providing a comfortable grip and accurate focusing. The manual aperture control allows photographers to make smooth exposure adjustments. The clear markings for aperture, distance, and depth of field on the lens barrel aid in making precise manual adjustments.
The internal focus system is another highlight, ensuring that the lens does not change in length during focusing, which is especially useful when working with polarizing filters or in a fixed setup. The included petal-shaped lens hood is a thoughtful addition, serving to block stray light from entering the lens and causing flare, as well as providing physical protection for the front element.
In summary, the Rokinon 50mm F1.4 Lens for Canon EF Mount is a stellar choice for photographers who demand high optical performance and creative flexibility in their prime lenses. Whether capturing evocative portraits, detailed still lifes, or vibrant street photography, this lens is sure to inspire and deliver exceptional results.
