Description
For mirrorless shooters, or anyone that needs to cover a Super35 sized sensor, this Rokinon 16mm T2.2 Cine DS Lens utilizes a multi-layer coating process for consistent color rendition from lens to lens. With consistent coatings the lens answers the challenge of assembling a set of lenses over time. The lens comes in Canon EF mount, and it features industry standard geared focus and iris rings that share common position with other Rokinon Cine DS lenses.
To aid focus pullers who have to work both sides of the lens, the aperture and focus scales are marked on both sides of the lens. A removable petal shaped lens hood provides flare protection when shooting without a matte box, and the lens’s threaded front accepts 77mm filter rings.
This 16mm lens produces 79.5° angle of view when used with a camera with an APS-C sensor. Hybrid aspherical lenses render sharply defined images with a minimum of distortion and chromatic aberrations and feature a minimum focus distance of 7.9″‘ from the lens.
Ultra Multicoated lenses minimize flare and ghosting, and the lenses are color matched to a standard eliminating the need to acquire an entire set of lenses at the same time.
Features industry-standard gearing for focus and aperture rings. Each lens in the Rokinon DS series shares common focus and iris gear ring positions, which speeds up lens changes as accessories, such as follow focus units or iris motors, don’t have to be re-positioned.
The lens features an internal focus mechanism, so the front of the lens doesn’t rotate when changing focus, allowing you to use filters and clip-on matte boxes without vignetting as you change (pull) focus.
The lens features an 8-bladed iris that provides round out-of-focus highlights and a natural-looking Bokeh. The declicked aperture ring allows for smooth iris pulls.
A removable lens hood provides flare protection without a matte box.
The lens opens up to T2.2, providing the capability for low light shooting or creating a shallow depth of field.
