Description — Rokinon 100mm T3.1 Macro
The Rokinon 100mm T3.1 Macro Cinema DS Lens is a manual-focus prime built for cinematographers who need a dedicated telephoto macro option with broad camera compatibility. Operating at a maximum aperture of T3.1 — expressed in cinema-standard T-stop notation for precise light transmission consistency — the lens is designed to integrate seamlessly into a matched Rokinon Cine DS lens set. Its 100mm fixed focal length sits in the telephoto range and is optimized for macro shooting on full-frame sensors.
With no image stabilization and manual focus only, the lens is fully geared toward deliberate, controlled operation typical of professional video production. It is offered in five lens mounts: Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Micro Four Thirds, and PL Mount, making it compatible with an extensive range of camera platforms. The 67mm filter thread accommodates standard accessories, and at 726 grams, it provides a substantial, cinema-ready feel without being impractical for rigged setups.
A straightforward choice for macro video work within the Rokinon DS ecosystem.
