Description — Rokinon 24mm f/1.8
The Rokinon 24mm f/1.8 Autofocus Compact Lens is a prime wide-angle optic built for the Sony E-Mount system. With a 24mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/1.8, it delivers a wide field of view and strong performance in challenging lighting conditions. Designed for full-frame coverage, it pairs naturally with Sony's full-frame mirrorless lineup while also functioning on APS-C bodies in the same mount family.
Autofocus is fully supported, and the lens weighs just 230g, keeping your kit light whether you're shooting on the street, traveling, or working in tight spaces. The 58mm filter thread makes it straightforward to add polarizers, ND filters, or other accessories from a wide range of manufacturers. It's worth noting that this lens has no built-in image stabilization, so steady shooting or a stabilized camera body is recommended in lower light or slower shutter speed scenarios.
