Description — Rokinon 135mm T2.2 DSX
The Rokinon 135mm T2.2 DSX High-Speed Cinema Lens is a prime telephoto lens built for full-frame cinema and video production. With a maximum aperture of T2.2, it delivers strong low-light capability and the shallow depth of field that narrative filmmakers and videographers often rely on. The 135mm focal length is a classic choice for interview setups, character close-ups, and scenes requiring natural subject compression.
Offered in Canon EF, Sony E, Nikon F, Micro Four Thirds, and PL Mount, this lens covers a wide range of professional and prosumer camera systems. A 77mm filter thread provides compatibility with industry-standard filter systems. The lens weighs 845g and is designed around a fully manual focus workflow with no image stabilization, making it best suited for productions where focus pullers, gimbals, or tripods are part of the shooting setup.
It is a dedicated cinema prime within Rokinon's DSX line, purpose-built for controlled, deliberate image-making.
