Rokinon 35mm Cine DS Lens (MFT Mount) Worth it in Modern Cinematography? A Review

[@PaperKrane]

Please note that when we mentioned Chromatic Aberration in this video, we should of *emphasized how minor it actually is* . While it is there, the amount present in this lens is SO minor that I would dare say *it would not hinder your shooting at all* . Especially if you primarily use this lens for filming and not stills. You can easily use this lens for professional shoots and we have many times.

[@RodneyCooperFilmz]

Is that an adapter attached to the lens?

[@BlackandBlueWeekly]

Did or will you shoot an entire film with this lens?

[@Sangrex2]

would you say this lens is nice for stills(the cine version?)

[@CaseySchneider]

@@Sangrex2 I'm curious about this as well

[@stevenfries7032]

The reason you have softness and chromatic aberration on the Rokinon is because you are using the MFT version. Its meant to be a full frame lens and the MFT version is still full frame just with an MFT mount. If you want extreme sharpness and remove the chromatic aberration; Get the Rikinon cine DS canon EF version; THEN GET a focal reducer like Metabones, Comlite, or Viltrox(.71 or 62 are fine). If you want BEST of both worlds; Get everything I just said and then get the MFT to canon EF mount; you can still have the softness and chromatic aberration. I see no advantage at this point by getting riknone cine DS MFT version. none what so ever

[@creativesymon]

Love the fact you cut straight to what most of us want...how it works in your workflow! Exactly: go to their site for specs. Listen to artists for how they work. Amazingly they sell a fantastic kit of 4 primes that costs less than a Canon L lens (which I and millions love). About £1500!!!!!!!

[@m00zs23]

As a photographer totally new to film, I have the 85mm and cannot agree more about the images that come out of it!!! So amazing.

[@m00zs23]

@@movinginthesestreetswithou9670 hello! I love the 85mm but don't have the 35mm. Based off my experiences with the 85mm, I wish I had both and want to buy the 35mm one day :) I have other lenses that cover that focal length for now, which is why I got the 85mm first, but I favor the image of the rokinon over my other lenses for video. If I were to choose only one with no other lenses the 35mm is a more flexible focal range but I love the 85mm. The images are gorgeous on these lenses, and there's just something about how they capture video that's really nice.

I just purchased this lens and It will be arriving on Thursday. Always wanted a cine lens and now I have one.

[@grifster360]

I have this one, the 85mm and 8mm. They are EF versions but I use a speed booster with my GH4 and I love these. Some of my best shots from my last 3 weddings came from them.

[@Dieje]

I’m wondering how using a canon 50mm EF MOUNT lens on a .71x speed-booster would compare to this

I use this lens on a full frame camera generally for landscape still photography. The best attribute in my opinion is the consistent across the frame sharpness, in that respect it bests most of the competition. Also on the full frame sensor the chromatic aberration is minimal even wide open. Stopped down the CA is virtually non existent. This lens with a circular polarizer now several years old is still my go to lens for landscape photography. Using an adapter its been in use with three camera bodies and still going strong. Thank you for the review.

Honestly, I have a 12mm T2.2 and while I like it, I don't use it as much.

Thank you for the review, what focal length are you getting with the micro 4 thirds is it 35mm or more? I want to get the sony full frame version for full frame camera. do you think 35mm would be to wide for an all round video lens on a full frame camera?

[@PaperKrane]

KLIQUE EJECT so with the MFT sensor, the focal length is about 70mm to a full frame sensor. If you want to use for more portrait type shots than I would look at their 50mm or even 85mm full frame lenses. I have the 85mm (MFT of course) and the build is equally as sound and the clarity is absolutely beautiful. But yes, the 35mm full frame might be a bit too wide.

[@Q2Japan]

Thanks for the helpful review :) Just a quick question, but have you ever felt the need for a speed-booster or is it just not necessary with the cine lenses?

[@PaperKrane]

You know, many would argue that it will give you that much extra control but in my personal experience, I really don't feel lacking not having the extra T-Stop (or F-Stop for some lenses). So no, I have never felt a need for a speed booster but I am sure many may argue the opposite :)

Hi guys, I just got this lens and I’m using a Gh5s and a ronin s and I was curious as to how you guys got it to balance because I’m really having trouble and I’m assuming it’s because of how front heavy it is but even adjusting it to compensate I just can’t get it balanced... any tips? Thanks!

[@helmutdanninger1510]

Diego Katzakian this would be interesting for me as well. Because i would like to buy this lense. By the way does the focus of the Dji ronin s work with this lense? Thank you

[@DiegoKatzakian]

Helmut Danninger it actually isn’t that difficult to balance it on the ronin s but focusing is a bit annoying since the lens is only manual and the ronin s focusing system is digital so you can’t use them together for focusing. Apart from that though the lens is incredible and I thoroughly recommend it.

[@PaperKrane]

@@DiegoKatzakian Can't believe I missed this comment. As hopefully you found, balancing isn't too bad on the Ronin S (little finicky but not bad). Focusing is the problem but I have played around with DJI's Focus and that made the pairing of the Rokinon lenses with the Ronin S 10x more powerful.

Lens and the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens , which one would you say I should go for if I will be doing some wide landscape video shots for filmmaking?

[@PaperKrane]

Probably the Leica 8-18 simply because it is far more wide than the 35mm Rokinon.

Totally! The Cine-DS Lens focus / aperture ring are at a standard distance apart allowing you to switch lenses with a follow focus rig easier. The Cine lens may have different spacing between their focus / aperture ring. Not a major difference but to some, it may be huge. Also, they claim they improved the optical coating on the Cine-DS lenses so that is a bonus too :)

You know, we have the DJI Ronin S (an older model but still awesome) with a focus module and it works beautifully.

Since this is 70mm ff effective on M43, isn't it a bit too long for wide/extablishing shots? I am interested in this lens.. Just down the priority list a little. :)

Definitely too narrow which is why we mentioned we use it for portrait type shots. For the wide establishing shots we have a 12mm Rokinon which I think is OK but I feel the 14mm cine DS might be a better option.

[@skullbrew_]

Would there be a crop factor with these lenses? Spesifically with the GH5 that is! Would greatly appreciate the info ✌️

[@Spartyo]

Crop factor doesn't come from the lens, it comes from the size of the sensor in the camera body. Formula: Crop Factor * Focal Length = FF Equivalent Length. In this case, with the GH5 on a adapter, you will have an additional factor: The Focal Reducer factor of the speedbooster. So we get our final computation like so: 2.0 (GH5 crop factor) * .71(Focal Reducer/Speedbooster) * 35mm(Focal Length = 49.7mm Full Frame equivalent on the GH5. If you have a .64x speedbooster, you get 2.0 * .64 * 35mm = 44.8mm FF Equivalent.

@@PaperKrane thanks for the info

[@quintincooper3108]

I want this lens but it’s more than my camera 😭😭

[@nofafilms8517]

Start doing small jobs and work your way up! Everyone starts low. 3 Years ago I started with a Lumix G6 with a Meiki 28mm F2.8 and started doing small jobs. Now I'm owning a camera I only could dream about 3 years ago!

Stefan Noël great advice

[@thatsreallyamoon]

Hey man, just wanted to add. People often say that actually buying new CAMERAS is a bad investment as compared to buying new LENSES (glass). Because a high quality set of lenses will bring up every camera's quality, even after your first camera is loooong gone. That's why I'm okay with buying these expensive lenses; they'll be waiting for me even when I move on from my little GX85 to the Black Magic Pocket 4K, for example!

Bhagwan Singh thanks man wise information

[@NeroMC]

Did you stop making videos??

[@PaperKrane]

Well to be technical, no. I have been making videos for my wife’s channel but have really been wanting to start up again on my channel.

What about focusbreathing in this lens?

[@FennecStudio]

DEVEnture This lens is manual focus only

[@dev8996]

Dfake Gam3r i know.. Its breath while sifting focus

[@FennecStudio]

I think if you’re native or adapted it won’t focus breathe but I’m not sure about speed boosters might look into it as I’m considering a faster lens for video work

[@TheVeganButcher]

Pitbull and Céline Dion are photographers :o

[@mychalsimmons4177]

Is the proper pronunciation “Rock” kinnon or Row- kinon?

[@noahtotten]

Mychal Simmons row-kinon 100%

[@SpencerAcoustics]

I say Rock in on, but I'm a guitar guy so......

[@mrpreneur]

You sold me

[@esewey7955]

Is this lens a t1.3 lens?

[@AlexRuddMusic]

MIKM Z 1.5

[@TopshelfJunior]

If it was spelled ROCKINON...then I would feel you.. But uh, that's not how you pronounce this lens lol..

[@raksh9]

Rockin' on with Rokinon

[@bobuk5722]

Oh, never mind the lens! Welcome back after the trauma. BobUK.

[@PALMZTV]

This lens is heavy.

[@laurencemurphy986]

Does this lens size up to a 70mm as its MFT?

[@PaperKrane]

Exactly. So a great portrait lens on the MFT
