A manual Cine Style lens, made for video capture and packed with cine features like geared focus and iris rings, epitomizes an experienced engineering approach tailored explicitly to meet the intricate demands of video creation. The geared teeth on the lens are standard industry sizing allowing for wide compatibility. This means that you are able to attach a follow focus set up directly to the lens without having to add a gear ring attachment. The best part is that every focal length in the DSX range has the gear teeth positioned on exactly the same point, no matter the focal length. When you swap lenses your follow focus setup does not need to be repositioned to line up. Spend more time shooting and less time on rig set up. Focus distances and measurements are both in feet and meters. This information is on both sides of the lens. Now it won't matter which side you set up your focus puller. Its extensive suite of precisely curated features is thoughtfully designed to not only meet but surpass the expectations of discerning filmmakers, elevating their creative pursuits to new heights. Try out the T-Stops markings that tells you how much light is actually passing through the lens and reaching the camera sensor. Most lenses use F-stops, our Rokinon DSX lenses have T-stops. F-stops are calculated on a ratio while T-stops more accurately mark the points where light is actually being halved or doubled. Where F-stops represent a theoretical light value, T-stops position that mark at the precise point at which that true value of light makes it to the sensor. The professional T-Stops feature offers invaluable insight into light transmission, empowering filmmakers to achieve optimal exposure settings with unmatched accuracy and finesse. The aperture ring is de-clicked. Changing the aperture is a smooth action. For cinema work you want to have the ability to pull aperture in shot. This de-clicked aperture ring allows for smooth iris pulls while attached to a follow focus setup as the aperture ring has geared teeth on it. Capture every moment with confidence using the Rokinon 50mm Cine DSX lens for Sony E lens mount cameras. Designed for both professionals and enthusiasts, this high-quality lens ensures sharpness and clarity in every shot. With its precise construction and advanced features, you'll never miss any detail.
