Description — Rokinon 85mm T1.5 AS UMC
The Rokinon 85mm T1.5 AS UMC Cine DS Lens is a prime lens designed from the ground up for cinema and video production. Its T1.5 maximum aperture is a calibrated T-stop measurement, ensuring consistent and predictable light transmission — an essential characteristic when pairing lenses across a production. The lens covers a full frame image circle at a fixed 85mm focal length, a versatile choice for medium close-ups and subject-focused compositions.
Focus is entirely manual, supporting the deliberate, repeatable pulls that professional cinematography demands. The 77mm front filter thread works seamlessly with standard matte boxes and filter systems commonly used on cinema setups. At 830g, the lens is built with the kind of solid heft that works well on rigged and gimbal-mounted cameras.
Mount options include Canon EF, Sony E, Nikon F, Micro Four Thirds, and PL Mount, making this lens a flexible investment across multiple camera platforms. Image stabilization is not included, consistent with a lens built for stabilized production rigs.
