Lens Overview — Rokinon 135mm T2.2

The Rokinon 135mm T2.2 Cine DS is a manual-focus prime lens built for cinema and video production, available in Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds mounts. With a fixed focal length of 135mm and a maximum aperture of T2.2, it sits firmly in telephoto territory and is designed to cover a full-frame image circle — making it a versatile option for shooters working across different camera systems. The lens carries a Type classification of Cine, meaning it is purpose-built with the needs of video production in mind rather than being a stills lens adapted for video use.

Image stabilization is not included, which is typical for a manual cine-style lens intended for use on a rig or stabilized platform. The 77mm front filter thread makes it straightforward to use with standard matte boxes and filter systems without step rings. At 836g, the lens has a solid, professional build weight that balances well on a shoulder rig or follow-focus setup.

Manual focus is the only focus mode — there is no autofocus — keeping the operator in full control, which is standard practice on professional video sets where a dedicated focus puller typically manages focus duties.

Key Features — Rokinon 135mm T2.2

135mm Telephoto Prime: Fixed focal length delivers consistent subject compression and background separation, making it well-suited for portraiture, interviews, and narrative close-ups.

T2.2 Maximum Aperture: Fast T-stop rating (as opposed to f-stop) provides accurate exposure calibration for video workflows and allows strong light gathering in low-light conditions.

Full-Frame Coverage: Image circle covers full-frame sensors, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of camera bodies without vignetting.

Cine DS Design: Purpose-built for video production with declicked aperture, cinema-standard gear rings, and smooth manual focus for use with follow-focus systems.

Four Mount Options: Available in Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds mounts, making it easy to match existing camera systems.

77mm Filter Thread: Standard front thread diameter fits directly into most matte boxes and accepts common filter sizes without requiring step-up rings.
