Rokinon 12mm T2.2 Cine Lens for Fuji X Mount 

Exceptional Wide-Angle Optics for Cinematic Storytelling

The Rokinon 12mm T2.2 Cine Lens for Fuji X Mount is a high-quality, cinema-grade wide-angle prime lens crafted specifically for filmmakers and videographers using Fujifilm X series APS-C cameras. Combining a bright T2.2 aperture with precise manual controls and advanced optical technology, this lens provides versatile performance for professional cinematic production, including documentaries, narrative films, commercials, and artistic projects.

Wide 12mm Focal Length for Immersive Cinematic Shots

Expansive Field of View

With a wide 98.9° diagonal angle of view, the Rokinon 12mm T2.2 lens captures sweeping vistas, intricate architectures, and immersive interiors while faithfully maintaining spatial relationships. This wide-angle focal length is perfect for establishing shots that require environmental context alongside subject presence, allowing filmmakers to visually anchor stories within rich surroundings.

Natural Perspective on APS-C Sensors

Designed to cover APS-C sensors like Fuji X, the lens provides an equivalent focal length of approximately 18mm in 35mm terms, yielding a spacious and cinematic but not overly distorted perspective. This makes it ideal for diverse scenes, from bustling cityscapes to intimate indoor sequences.

Bright T2.2 Aperture for Creative Lighting and Depth

Excellent Low-Light Performance

The lens features a fast T2.2 aperture, which allows filmmakers to shoot effectively in lower-light environments without ramping up ISO, preserving image quality and reducing noise. This aperture also helps reduce the need for excessive lighting, offering flexibility during field or run-and-gun shooting.

Depth of Field Control and Aesthetics

While wide-angle lenses inherently have deep depth of field, the bright aperture allows selective focus and subtle background separation when creatively employed. Its rounded aperture blades produce smooth and pleasing bokeh, enhancing cinematic imagery with gentle out-of-focus highlights for focused storytelling.

Advanced Optical Construction

12 Elements in 10 Groups

The optical formula includes 12 precision lens elements arranged in 10 groups, incorporating three Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements and two aspherical lenses. These components work in unison to minimize chromatic aberrations, spherical aberrations, and distortion, ensuring sharp, bright, and color-accurate images from edge to edge.

Nano Coating System (NCS)

The lens surfaces are treated with Rokinon's proprietary Nano Coating System, which significantly reduces flare and ghosting caused by internal reflections. This coating enhances contrast and color fidelity, particularly under challenging lighting conditions like direct sunlight or mixed light sources.

Cinema-Grade Manual Controls

0.8 Pitch Gear Rings

Both focus and aperture rings are equipped with industry-standard 0.8 pitch gearing, facilitating smooth and precise manual control via follow focus devices and iris motors. This feature is indispensable when executing complex focus pulls and exposure shifts in narrative or documentary filmmaking.

De-Clicked Aperture for Silent Adjustments

The aperture ring is de-clicked, allowing seamless and silent iris changes during live recording without causing flicker or sound disruptions, essential for sync sound productions.

Dual-Sided Markings for Focus and T-Stop

Easy-to-read, engraved markings on both sides of the lens barrel provide focus distance and T-stop scales, treated with glow-in-the-dark paint for quick visibility in dark or blackout environments, enhancing on-set efficiency.

Compact, Durable Build for Professional Use

Lightweight and Portable

Measuring only about 59 mm in length and weighing approximately 265 grams, this lens is compact and lightweight, perfect for handheld shooting, gimbal setups, and run-and-gun production styles.

Robust Metal Construction

Crafted with a strong aluminum alloy body, the lens is built to withstand the rigors of professional use while maintaining ergonomic handling comfort.

Included Accessories

The package includes a bayonet-mount petal-shaped lens hood to suppress unwanted flare without compromising the wide field of view, as well as a lens pouch for safe transport.

Minimum Focusing Distance and Practical Application

With a minimum focusing distance of about 0.2 meters (7.87 inches), the Rokinon 12mm lens supports creative close-range compositions while maintaining the expansive wide-angle perspective, allowing filmmakers to capture layered depth and interesting foreground details.
