Description — Rokinon 24mm f/1.4
The Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 is a wide-angle prime lens built to cover full-frame sensors with a fixed 24mm focal length and a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture. It is a manual-focus lens with no autofocus support, placing full control of focus in the photographer's hands. The lens is offered in four mounts — Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds — making it accessible across a wide variety of camera systems.
A 77mm filter thread provides compatibility with a broad selection of standard filter accessories. At 580g, the lens has a solid feel suited to a wide-angle prime of this aperture class. There is no image stabilization on board, so handheld shooting in lower light conditions will require careful technique or higher ISOs depending on the scene.
