Rokinon 50mm f/1.2 Overview

A truly fast prime offering a portrait-length perspective, this black 50mm f/1.2 Lens from Rokinon is designed for Sony E mirrorless cameras where it provides a 75mm equivalent focal length. The combination of the long perspective and bright f/1.2 maximum aperture enables extensive control over focus placement, which is further complemented by the manual focus design and rounded nine-blade diaphragm for a smooth bokeh quality. The lens construction incorporates a pair of aspherical elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortions for a cleaner, sharper image quality void of color fringing. An Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to boost contrast by suppressing lens flare and ghosting.

This 50mm f/1.2 lens is designed for APS-C-format Sony E mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 75mm equivalent focal length.
Bright, fast f/1.2 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also avails extensive control over shallow depth of field.
Two aspherical elements help to control chromatic and comatic aberrations in order to achieve greater sharpness and clarity.
An Ultra Multi-Coating has been applied to all lens elements in order to suppress lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy.
This manual focus lens has a non-rotating 62mm front filter mount to better enable the use of polarizing, graduated ND, and other filter types that require precise positioning.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when using selective focus or shallow depth of field techniques.

question

What is the T-stop at f1.2?
Asked by: Gaurav P.
This is not a Cine Lens. The aperture is calculated in f/stops not T stops. The transmission would not have been measured at each aperture.

question

If I use this on my full frame a7s II will it just me zoomed in because the APS-C format?
Asked by: Chris
You would either have to use the lens on the Sony Alpha a7S II Mirrorless Digital Camera in the APS-C Crop Mode (which would have the lens operate as the equivalent of a 75mm lens), or you may use the lens in full-frame mode, which would leave a large black vignette around the edge of the image. The option would be up to you, depending on the menu option you choose.
