Rokinon 85mm T1.5 Cine DSX Overview

Update your cinema lens set with this 85mm T1.5 DSX High-Speed Cine Lens from Rokinon that comes in a Sony E mount. The DSX continues the line with the same multilayer coating process, industry-standard geared focus and iris rings, and fast T1.5 aperture, and it adds a 9-blade iris for beautiful soft bokeh, weather sealing to keep the moisture out, and focal lengths on both sides for added versatility for focus pullers.

This 85mm lens produces a 28.4° coverage when used with full-frame cameras. Aspherical lenses render sharply defined images with a minimum of distortion and chromatic aberrations, with a minimum focus distance of 3.6' from the lens. The 9-blade iris also allows you to create up to a stunning 18-ray starburst when you're stopped all the way down.

A removable petal-shaped lens hood provides flare protection when shooting without a matte box, and the lens' threaded front accepts a 72mm filter ring.

As well as delivering the beloved image quality and fast T-stop values of the existing DS series, the high-speed DSX models now have weather sealing, nine aperture blades, and focal lengths that are visible on both sides for more professional use.
The DSX range is highly versatile and available in Canon EF, Sony E, Canon RF, and MFT mounts.
Ultra Multi-Coated lenses minimize flare and ghosting, and the lenses are color matched to a standard eliminating the need to acquire an entire set of lenses at the same time.
Lenses in the Rokinon DSX high-speed cine lens series share common focus and iris gear ring positions, which speeds up lens changes as accessories such as follow focus units or iris motors don't have to be repositioned.
Focal lengths and measurements in feet and meters on both sides of the lens.
De-clicked aperture ring for smooth iris pulls.
A minimum focusing distance of 3.6' allows you to get up close to your subject.
A removable petal-type lens hood provides flare protection without a matte box.

Rokinon 85mm T1.5 Cine DSX Reviews

Rock on Rokinon

I am surprised by the quality of this lens. I was able to get clear sharp images and amazing boca effects. It was delivered fast as well.

A head to head competitor with the Canon Cine RF that wins!

If you currently shoot the Canon or Nikon prime lenses, you are in for an upgrade at 1/4 the price. This lens is extremely sharp edge to edge, virtually no halos. The boca is more desirable than any other lens we have seen for under $25K. If you didn't know it you would use the lens then watch the video and think you were filming on a lens costing thousands more. At T1.5 it is completely sharp and amazing. Very solid. Very well built. It works great for stills as well, sharper, better that our Canon RF primes 100% of the time. I love Canon Products but this stomps them in the Cine lens department and for video, the USM lenses are lack luster at best. Give it a shot, you will thank me and B&H.

Additionally, I believe that most if not all DSX have some form of weather sealing, as opposed to the DS line.
