Review Summary

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.

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.

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.

Become a master of cinematic storytelling with the Rokinon 50mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Sony E Mount. This high-performance manual focus prime lens is designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional filmmakers and videographers. Compatible with both APS-C and full-frame E-mount cameras, it offers a 35mm focal length equivalent of 75mm on APS-C sensors, making it versatile for a variety of shooting scenarios.
The standout feature of this lens is its ultra-fast maximum aperture of T1.5, which excels in low-light conditions and provides exceptional control over depth of field, allowing you to create stunning bokeh with its 8-blade iris. 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, essential for professional video production.
Designed with the needs of focus pullers in mind, the lens barrel features bright aperture and distance markings printed laterally, enhancing usability during shoots. With a minimum focusing distance of 1.5 feet, the lens allows for creative close-up shots. The 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, the lens effectively reduces aberrations, delivering sharp and clear images. The multi-coated lens surface enhances light transmission while minimizing flare and ghosting, ensuring high-quality visuals. The lens also features a 77mm filter thread diameter, accommodating a wide range of filters for creative effects.
As part of the Rokinon DS series, this 50mm lens is engineered for seamless lens swapping, with standardized alignment of geared focus and aperture rings across the series. This design eliminates the need for re-adjustment of follow focus and other rig accessories when changing lenses. Each DS lens is meticulously tested for color matching, ensuring consistent color and contrast across your video projects. Additionally, focusing scales are printed on both sides of the lens barrel, allowing for convenient adjustments from either side of the camera.
Whether you're capturing stills or shooting video, the Rokinon 50mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens offers unparalleled performance and versatility, making it an essential tool for any filmmaker's kit.
