Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine DSX lens
By BLAKE S.
The best Rokinon lens I have ever owned.
A groundbreaking addition to the world of cinematography, the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine DSX High-Speed Lens for Canon EF is designed to elevate your filmmaking experience. This lens is part of Rokinon's innovative DSX lineup, which is renowned for its exceptional cinematic video quality, making it an ideal choice for independent filmmakers and directors working on budget-conscious projects.
The DSX series is a comprehensive set of four lenses, including the 24mm T1.5, 35mm T1.5, 50mm T1.5, and 85mm T1.5, each offering the much-loved image quality and fast T-stop values of the existing DSX series. The new models in this series come with enhanced features such as weather sealing, 9 aperture blades, and focal lengths visible on both sides, making them more professional and versatile.
The Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine DSX High-Speed Lens is available in seven different camera mounts, making it a highly adaptable tool for creative and commercial projects. Whether you're using a Canon EF, Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon F, Canon M, Fuji X, or MFT, this lens is fully compatible with both DSLR and mirrorless systems.
Despite its compact size, this lens is packed with features that make it perfect for handheld and gimbal shooting. It comes with a de-clicked aperture and focus gear rings, and a long focus throw of over 130 degrees, enabling precise focusing for a professional feel to your video footage.
The lens covers full frame sensors (36x24mm), ready for high-quality video making. It features aspherical lens elements to reduce spherical and optical aberration, producing clear and vibrant images. The fast T1.5 aperture supports filmmakers in low-light situations, allowing them to focus more on the scene and creativity, without compromising on image quality.
The lens also features 9 aperture blades, delivering smooth and circular bokeh for a three-dimensional quality and pleasing out-of-focus effect. It can also create 18-ray starburst highlights when stopped down to small apertures. The weather-sealing feature protects the lens from dust, light rain, and snow, enabling you to capture stunning images in less than perfect conditions.
The sleek, black, and matte finish of the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine DSX High-Speed Lens enhances its usability and professionalism on the set. Its lightweight yet sturdy design, along with side scales for easy reading of distance and focal lengths, make it an intuitive tool for focus pullers and assistant cinematographers.
