Rokinon 16mm T2.6 Full Frame Cine DS Overview

Designed to overcome the challenges in assembling a set of lenses over time, the Rokinon 16mm T2.6 Full-Frame Cine DS Lens for Sony E Mount features a multilayer coating process for consistently-rendered color from lens to lens. The industry standard geared focus and iris rings share a common position with other Cine DS lenses, eliminating the time it would take to reposition a matte box, follow focus, or other accessory when switching lenses. When used with a full-frame sensor camera, this 16mm lens produces a 106.9°, super-wide angle of view.

The Cine DS primes' hybrid aspherical elements render sharply-defined images with a minimum of distortion and chromatic aberrations, and the minimum focus distance is 11.8" from the lens. For ease of use when working with an assistant, the Cine DS primes feature focus and T-stop scales on both sides of the lens barrel. An integrated petal-type lens hood reduces flare without the use of a matte box.

question

Can you use threaded filters with Rokinon 16mm T2.6?
Asked by: GregorySD
We are afraid not. The Rokinon 16mm Cine DS Lens does not have a filter thread on it. You may want to consider using a Matte Box system for filters with lenses like this. This lens has a 81.6 mm diameter, you could use the Wooden Camera 2-Stage Clamp-On 4 x 5.65 Zip Box which clamps to lenses between 80-85mm, B&H # WO241600.https://bhpho.to/2Aosn5R

Dose this one work on the bmpcc 4K?

Dose this one work on the bmpcc 4K?
Asked by: Anonymous
No, because this lens has a Canon EF mount while the camera has Micro Four-Thirds mount. We recommend either using a MFT to Canon EF adapter or purchasing the same lens but with a MFT mount. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1339240-REG/rokinon_ffds16_mft_cine_ds_ff_16mm.html

There is almost nothing on the internet about this lens. Id really love to use this lens wide open but typically Rokinon Cine lenses need a stop down to get sharp. Anyone know any really good comparisons with this lens at different Tstops from T2.6 down to its minimum aperture? I know its a Cine lens but would be great to see some high res photos for comparison.
Asked by: John
We are not aware of any specific locations showcasing examples of this lens at different apertures. You could however check on websites like Youtube and Vimeo to see if anyone has posted examples.

What type of matte box can be used with this lens? Do I have to use one that goes on rails? Is it possible to get a matte box that will allow me to add ND filters?
Asked by: Winston
The Rokinon 16mm T2.6 Full Frame Cine DS Lens (Canon EF Mount) (B&H# RODS16T26C) would indeed require some kind of matte box to use filters. Rail-mounted matte boxes would be an option, yes, but since you seem to want something else, you can use the lens-gripping Wooden Camera 2-Stage Clamp-On 4 x 5.65" Zip Box (80-85mm) (B&H# WO241600): https://bhpho.to/3nzlepM
