Available from MojoComputers, this lens combines the precision of high-quality optics with the convenience of a lightweight, compact design ideal for handheld, gimbal, or studio setups. With its fast aperture and advanced coatings, it offers filmmakers exceptional creative control even in challenging lighting conditions.

Key Features

  • 50mm focal length providing an effective 100mm telephoto equivalent on Micro Four Thirds sensor cameras, perfect for detailed close-ups and portrait-style shots

  • Bright maximum aperture of T1.5 allows outstanding low-light performance and shallow depth of field to isolate subjects beautifully

  • Apodization (APO) and Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) technologies help reduce flare, aberrations, and ghosting for crystal-clear images

  • Manual focus lens with smooth, long-focus throw offering precise pull control for professional focus accuracy

  • All-metal robust construction ensures durability on demanding shoots while remaining lightweight and portable

  • Standard 0.8 gear pitch on focus and aperture rings compatible with follow focus units and cinema rigs

  • Clickless aperture ring enables low-noise exposure transitions, essential for silent video environments

  • Dual-sided, engraved focus distance and T-stops visible in low-light conditions from either side of the lens

  • Minimal focus breathing maintains stable framing during manual focus pulls, enhancing viewer immersion

Optical Performance

The Rokinon 50mm Cine DS lens features an apodization element designed to smooth the edges of out-of-focus highlights, producing silky bokeh and natural background separation that enhances cinematic appeal. The Ultra Multi-Coating applied to the lens elements dramatically reduces internal reflections and flares, delivering punchy contrast and true-to-life colors even when filming against strong light sources. Optical clarity and resolution are carefully maintained from center to edges, making it compatible with high-resolution 4K and 6K sensor cameras.

Creative Uses

With an effective focal length of approximately 100mm on MFT cameras, this lens excels at capturing expressive close-ups, environmental portraits, and intimate narrative scenes where background compression and subject isolation add depth to storytelling. Its wide T1.5 aperture gives filmmakers artistic freedom in controlling selective focus and crafting moody, atmospheric shots. Wildlife videographers and commercial shooters also find the telephoto reach invaluable for capturing distant details with clarity and cinematic quality.

Precision Handling and Build

The manual focus ring offers a smooth and extended throw, providing smooth focus pulls essential for cinematic work. The aperture ring’s clickless design allows fluid exposure adjustments without generating unwanted noise during sound recording. The focus and aperture gears follow the universal 0.8 pitch, ensuring compatibility with third-party follow focus accessories. The lens’s all-metal construction is not only robust but also balanced well for handheld shooting or use on stabilizers and gimbals, enabling extended creative sessions without fatigue.

Compatibility and Versatility

Designed as a native Micro Four Thirds mount lens, it perfectly fits popular mirrorless systems such as Panasonic GH series, Olympus OM-D, and other MFT camera models. The lens supports full-frame cine lens standards scaled for MFT systems, making it a reliable addition to any filmmaker’s kit wanting to shoot with cinema-grade optics on a compact, versatile platform.
