Description — Rokinon 45mm T1.9 FE
The Rokinon Cine AF 45mm T1.9 is a prime lens in the standard focal length range, built specifically for the cinema and video camera system category. It covers a full-frame image circle and is designed exclusively for the Sony E mount. The T1.9 maximum aperture delivers solid light transmission performance, useful in lower-light shooting environments and for achieving subject separation.
Shooters benefit from both autofocus and manual focus capabilities, giving them flexibility whether working on fast-paced run-and-gun productions or more controlled narrative shoots. At 280g, the lens is notably lightweight for a full-frame cine prime, making it well-suited for gimbal systems and aerial platforms where every gram counts. A 67mm filter thread provides compatibility with widely available filter accessories.
It is worth noting that no image stabilization is included, so stabilization must come from the camera body or an external rig. For Sony E-mount videographers and cinematographers seeking a compact, fast, autofocus-capable standard prime, this lens covers the core bases efficiently.
