Lens Overview — Rokinon 12mm T2.2

The Rokinon 12mm T2.2 Cine Lens is a manual-focus wide-angle prime designed specifically for mirrorless camera systems with APS-C sensor coverage. With a maximum aperture of T2.2, this lens is built with filmmakers in mind, using the T-stop rating system that reflects actual light transmission rather than theoretical f-stop values — a practical advantage when matching exposure across a multi-lens cinema setup. The lens is available in four mounts — Sony E, Canon EF-M, Micro Four Thirds, and Fujifilm X — making it a versatile option for shooters across multiple mirrorless ecosystems.

At just 245g, it is a compact and lightweight option that won't add significant bulk to a handheld or gimbal rig. The 67mm filter thread accommodates standard screw-on filters, and the manual-only focus design is a natural fit for video work where precise, repeatable focus pulls are a priority. Image stabilization is not included, so shooters will need to rely on in-body stabilization or external stabilization tools.

This is a prime lens at 12mm, keeping the optical design straightforward and the overall package small and easy to handle on set or in the field.

Description — Rokinon 12mm T2.2

The Rokinon 12mm T2.2 Cine Lens is a manual-focus, wide-angle prime built for APS-C mirrorless camera systems. Rated at T2.2, the maximum aperture is expressed as a true T-stop, reflecting real-world light transmission — a meaningful distinction for video productions where consistent exposure across lenses matters. The lens is offered in four mount options: Sony E, Canon EF-M, Micro Four Thirds, and Fujifilm X, covering the most widely used mirrorless ecosystems on the market.

At a fixed 12mm focal length, this is a dedicated wide-angle tool with no zoom range to compromise its optical simplicity. Weighing in at just 245g, it is easy to balance on a gimbal or lightweight rig. The 67mm filter thread is a practical standard size for adding ND or polarizing filters.

With no autofocus and no image stabilization, this lens is straightforwardly designed for deliberate, manual video use — well-matched to shooters who prefer full control over their focus pulls and exposure transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rokinon 12mm T2.2

Which camera mounts is this lens compatible with?+
The Rokinon 12mm T2.2 Cine Lens is available in Sony E, Canon EF-M, Micro Four Thirds, and Fujifilm X mounts. It is designed for mirrorless camera systems, so it will not natively fit DSLR bodies without an adapter.
Does this lens work on full-frame mirrorless cameras?+
The lens has APS-C format coverage, which means it is not designed for full-frame sensors. Using it on a full-frame body would likely result in heavy vignetting unless the camera is set to a crop mode.
Why does this lens use a T-stop rating instead of an f-stop?+
T-stop ratings measure actual light transmission through the lens rather than the theoretical aperture diameter. This makes T2.2 a more reliable exposure reference when working across multiple lenses on a film or video production.
How heavy is this lens, and is it suitable for gimbal use?+
The lens weighs 245g, making it a lightweight option that is well-suited for use on gimbals or other stabilized rigs. Its manual focus design also pairs naturally with follow focus accessories commonly used in video production.
Does this lens have image stabilization?+
No, this lens does not include image stabilization. Shooters will need to rely on in-body stabilization if their camera supports it, or use external stabilization equipment such as a gimbal or shoulder rig.
What filter size does this lens use?+
The Rokinon 12mm T2.2 accepts 67mm screw-on filters, a common size that makes it easy to find compatible ND filters, polarizers, and other accessories.
