Description — Rokinon 50mm f/1.4
The Rokinon 50mm f/1.4 is a prime lens with a 50mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/1.4, designed to cover full-frame sensors. It is a manual focus lens, putting direct control in the photographer's hands for precise focus placement. The lens is available across four mount options — Sony E, Canon EF, Nikon F, and Micro Four Thirds — making it compatible with a broad range of mirrorless and DSLR camera bodies.
