Rokinon 24mm T1.9 AF Cine Lens for Sony E

Under the banner of Rokinon, a new range of lenses has been introduced, specifically optimized for the needs of video content creators. The Cine AF series, the first of its kind globally, is designed to streamline and enhance video content creation. The second lens in this innovative lineup is the Cine AF 24mm T1.9, a high-quality, professional lens that promises to revolutionize videography.

The Cine AF series is characterized by a unified form factor, making it compact and lightweight. With dimensions of 73 X 70mm and weighing less than 300g, these lenses are perfect for use with gimbals and drones. This compact size eliminates the need to reset equipment when changing lenses, making your workflow smoother and more efficient.

One of the standout features of the Cine AF 24mm T1.9 is the LED Indicator or Tally Lamp. Positioned on the front and mount index, this lamp allows users to easily verify if a video is being recorded, even in small spaces with minimal equipment. This feature enhances usability and convenience, making video content creation a breeze.

The Cine AF series supports resolutions up to 8K, making it a versatile choice for both handheld and drone videography, as well as studio and location productions. All lenses in the series are color-matched to prevent shifts when swapping lenses, and the 9 aperture blades create a natural-looking bokeh effect.

The Cine AF 24mm T1.9 also boasts a 'Focus save' function, typically found in professional cine equipment, and a custom mode that can be enhanced with firmware updates. This provides video-specific functions for students and amateur users aspiring to become cinematographers.

The lens features an electronic connector at the front, enabling communication between the Cine AF lens and its exclusive accessories. It also has a consistent form factor and markings optimized for motion picture production. The Tally Lamp function intuitively shows recording status, and the lens offers a smooth focus transition with a 300-degree focus rotation angle.

The lens also includes a Focus Hold Button, which when held down for at least two seconds in MF mode, toggles focus save and loads. All lenses in the lineup comply with Rokinon's CCI Standard, ensuring a standardized color balance.

The Cine AF 24mm T1.9 is built with a robust metal accessory mount that supports exclusive Cine AF accessories. It also features electronic connect pins for communicating with these accessories. The lens is designed with a highly effective dust and splash-resistant structure, with special sealing at six points on the lens, making it a reliable and durable choice for all your videography needs.
