📸 Rokinon Cine CV35-C 35mm T1.5 Aspherical Wide Angle Cine Lens - Non-Zoom for Canon EOS DSLR Review

Trying the lens on two bodies it became clear that the aperture ring was not working. Something internal failed to connect. Was very annoyed and just wanted to send the lens back. That's what I've decided, fuck it. I'm going to disassemble the lens and fix it myself as I was planning to take it on a trip this weekend and don't want to wait for a replacement. Spent a little over an hour trying to resolve the issue. The lens is now working properly. It's just a little annoying that it came out…

I love this lens. This is my lens for nice shots on my camcorder. However, Rokinon lenses also have a downside. Light reflections are bad for these lenses. If you want to shoot outdoors and towards a light source, you'll need to consider some sort of matte blend box. The flares aren't the prettiest, they seem to produce a haze-like flare. Otherwise they are great. UPDATE: I found a good fix for the ugly haze. Take the Promaster 77mm rubber cover. This works much better than the petal hood that…

This 35mm lens is probably your best bet if you only buy a Rokinon lens. If you're serious about the quality of your footage, this is what you need. The 35mm lens lets you shoot at both normal distances and great close-ups, and it delivers nice out-of-focus blur in both modes. Always use a support with this lens. It is not suitable for handheld shooting. With clearly marked numbers and the longest body in the Rokinon line, it's also one of the most impressive pieces of glass you can mount on a…

If you wanted to buy some Zeiss solutions but couldn't really justify them, you might have stumbled across some forums and comparisons and found this lens. Just google "rokinon vs. zeiss". There are many very positive reviews and most reviewers conclude that they will sell their Zeiss lens and buy 2-3 more Rokinons. Based on that I got this one. That's exactly what you're hoping for. Excellent low light noise free lens. UPDATE: I was shooting in a very dark, shady forest this weekend. The shots

When you use this lens, the focus ring will stick and get stuck making it almost impossible to use. Shortly thereafter, the front half of the lens fell out completely. I sent the lens back to Rokinon for repair or replacement under warranty and they told me I should have contacted them sooner and the damage was my fault, although it was clearly an internal manufacturing defect and they offered me an additional payment of $300. to a new lens after paying >$400 for the defective one. Less than

4/21/2015 I have taken the lens to a professional photo shop and for the last 4 months I have been buying cleaning products and lens cleaning kits and have noticed that there is dust and fiber in the lens all the time. The manufacturer has not ensured that the sides of the lenses are free of fibers and dust. I've emailed Rokinon aka Elite Brands and still no word from them. Update: April 27, 2015 I had to call Rokinon, EBI's luxury brand in NYC, and they ask you to pay for shipping and also to…

I recently bought a Rokinon 85mm cine lens for a Sony a99 camera, mainly for video. I found I liked this particular lens so much that I started using it for photography as well. In fact, I love the sharpness of these files so much that I started looking for other Rokinon lenses for my camera. I had been researching this 35mm 1.5 cine lens for Sony Alpha cameras for a few weeks when I noticed one of those mysterious Revain price drops. It seemed like too much of a store to pass up, so I went…
