Description — Rokinon 35mm f/1.2
The Rokinon 35mm f/1.2 ED AS UMC is a fast manual focus prime built specifically for APS-C mirrorless camera systems. Its standout feature is the f/1.2 maximum aperture, which allows a significant amount of light to reach the sensor — useful for available-light photography and for achieving a shallow depth of field. The lens is offered across four mount options: Sony E, Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, and Micro Four Thirds, giving it wide cross-platform appeal among mirrorless shooters.
Focus is fully manual, with no autofocus functionality, making it best suited to photographers comfortable with manual techniques. The 86mm filter thread is on the larger end of the spectrum, consistent with the wide front element required for an f/1.2 design. At 1106g, the lens has a solid, substantial build that users should weigh against their portability needs. No image stabilization is present, so stable shooting depends on technique or in-body stabilization.
This is a prime option for APS-C mirrorless photographers seeking maximum aperture at the 35mm focal length.
