Not suppose to be compared to higher end cinema prime lenses

Great options for beginners or people starting over and are on a budget. This prime 50 can really be used to achieve great looking images. Too often, people attempt to compare the Rokinon line to higher end cine glass. That should not be, or at least, higher end productions do not want to compromise on breathing, bokeh, coating, minimum focus distance etc. Use these lenses and move on if you decide to, but these lenses show great what's in front of them. Put something great in front of them and nearly anyone who knows what they're doing can make the image look great. These lenses from the Rokinon line were marketed to entry level filmmakers so essentially they're not suppose to be compared to higher end cinema prime lenses.

NEW FAVORITE LENS

This is my first manual lens and I am absolutely in love with it. It captures a clean crisp image and due to the nature of being a videographer we can’t always control lighting situations so the fact that it works very well in low light is a life saver. Despite its size, it honestly is lightweight so if you have a steady hand, you won’t struggle to use it without a stabilizer. I would definitely recommend this lens and honestly getting the four lens kit would probably be 100% worth it if we all work as well as this one.

Excellent Lens for Video and Photography!

I've been using this lens for shoots for a little over a week now and love it.The build is fantastic, the crispness of the images are top shelf, and it works GREAT in low light scenarios where other lenses fail.It definitely has stepped my visual production up a few notches, and my clients have been happy with their results.Only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because it is a MF lens, which can get tricky while shooting video if you don't have a stabilizer. All in all, I'm happy with the lens and will most likely buy more from Adoroma/Rokinon in the future.

Great lens for the price

This is a great lens for this price point. The image is sharp, the build quality is solid and I highly recommend the whole Rokinon Cine DS line for anyone looking to get cinema lenses without breaking the bank.

From the renowned Rokinon Cine DS series, the Rokinon 50mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Micro Four Thirds is a high-performance manual focus prime lens designed for filmmakers and videographers seeking exceptional optical quality. When mounted on Micro Four Thirds format cameras, this lens offers a 35mm equivalent focal length of 100mm, providing a telephoto angle of view ideal for capturing distant subjects with precision.

This lens features a fast maximum aperture of T1.5, allowing for outstanding low-light performance and the ability to achieve a beautifully shallow depth of field. The 8-blade iris contributes to the creation of smooth, attractive bokeh, enhancing the aesthetic quality of your footage. Specifically optimized for cinema and video applications, the lens is equipped with industry-standard geared focus and aperture control rings, facilitating seamless integration with traditional follow focus systems. The de-clicked aperture control ring ensures smooth and silent iris pulls, crucial for professional video production.

The Rokinon 50mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens boasts a minimum focusing distance of 1.5 feet, enabling close-up shots with remarkable detail. Its internal focusing mechanism minimizes lens breathing, maintaining a consistent angle of view during focus adjustments. Constructed with 9 elements in 6 groups, including one aspherical and one hybrid aspherical element, this lens effectively reduces aberrations and enhances image clarity. The multi-coated lens elements improve light transmission and minimize flare and ghosting, ensuring high-quality visuals.

Featuring a 77mm filter thread diameter, this lens is versatile and compatible with a wide range of filters. As part of the DS series, it shares a unified design with other lenses in the lineup, offering consistent alignment of geared focus and aperture rings. This design consistency eliminates the need for re-adjustment of follow focus and rig accessories when swapping lenses. Each DS lens is meticulously tested to ensure color and contrast matching, delivering a uniform look across your video projects.

Additionally, the lens barrel is marked with focusing scales on both sides, allowing for convenient adjustments from either side of the camera. While functional as a still photo lens, the Rokinon 50mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens is optimized for cinema and video shooting, making it an indispensable tool for professionals seeking reliability and superior performance in their optical arsenal.

Rokinon 50mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Micro Four Thirds, 6 Groups/9 Elements, 1.5' Minimum Focussing Distance Features

  • Standard length manual focus prime lens for EF mount cameras.
  • Functional as still photo lens but optimized for cinema and video shooting with geared aperture and focus rings, de-clicked aperture for smooth exposure transitions and laterally printed aperture and distance markings.
  • The 50mm T1.5 is part of the DS series of cine lenses, sharing characteristics and features that unify the series and make it easier for users to swap out lenses when shooting video. Each DS lens provides aligned focus and aperture rings so that readjustment of the follow focus is not necessary when switching lenses.
  • Each DS lens has been tested to match color and contrast for a consistent look and less potential post-processing. Finally, all DS lenses print focus scales on each side of the lens barrel for ease of use from both sides of the camera.
  • Very fast T1.5 maximum aperture for effective low light capture and shallow depth of field.
  • Internal focusing system with 9 lens elements in 6 groups.
  • One aspherical and one hybrid aspherical lens element control aberrations and improve sharpness throughout the frame.
  • Lens multi-coating improves light transmission and reduces flare and ghosting.
  • Minimum focus distance of 1.5'
