Description — Rokinon 24mm T1.5 ED AS IF UMC
The Rokinon 24mm T1.5 Cine Lens is a prime, manual focus wide-angle lens built for cinema and video production. It covers a full-frame image circle and is offered in Canon EF, Sony E, Nikon F, Micro Four Thirds, and PL Mount variants, giving it exceptional versatility across professional cinema and mirrorless ecosystems. The T1.5 maximum aperture is well-suited for productions that demand low-light capability or creative depth-of-field control at wide angles.
As a manual focus design, it integrates naturally into cinema rigs and follow focus setups. The 77mm filter thread ensures compatibility with standard screw-on filters and many matte box systems. At 680g, the lens is substantial enough to feel robust on a rig without becoming unwieldy.
There is no image stabilization, so shooters working handheld may want to account for that in their rigging choices. The 24mm focal length in a prime configuration makes it a strong candidate for wide coverage, environmental storytelling, and cinematic establishing shots.
