A favored focal length for everyday shooting coupled with an impressively bright design, the SP 35mm f/1.2 from Rokinon is a fast wide-angle prime for Canon EF-mount cameras. The optical design incorporates aspherical, high refractive index, and extra-low dispersion elements, which are used to reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations in order to realize a high degree of sharpness and clarity. An Ultra Multi-Coating is also featured to suppress ghosting and flare for increased contrast and color fidelity. It's impressive f/1.2 maximum aperture also benefits working in low-light conditions and affords extensive control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques. Additionally, the manual focus design contributes to the precise control over focus, and an aluminum-alloy housing benefits handling as well as improves overall durability.
- EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/1.2 to f/16
- Two Aspherical Elements, One ED Element

Rokinon SP 35mm f/1.2 Reviews
A Great Lens
I purchased this lens to photograph the Milky Way. The lens was very well packaged by B&H, with bubble wrap around the lens box and air pillows for the shipping container. I tested the lens on a star-lit sky, looking at the center and corners. At f/1.4 the stars were pin-point sharp, much sharper than f/2.8 on my Canon EF 16-35 f/2.8 III at 35mm. This is a great lens!

This not truly a review because I have not quantified resolution, distortion, etc. I have carefully compared close-up photos taken with 35mm and 70mm Sigma Arts and I see little difference. This lens appears to be quite sharp, even wide open. Focusing is just lovely – the damping and throw suit me very well. I was concerned about focus shift, but if it is there, I don’t see it. This lens suits my needs quite well.
