Rokinon 85mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Micro Four Thirds – MojoComputers

Overview

The Rokinon 85mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Micro Four Thirds is a premium telephoto prime lens developed for filmmakers and videographers who demand sharp, cinematic quality and reliable performance. Tailored for MFT mirrorless cameras, this lens features a fast aperture that enables exceptional low-light shooting and creative depth of field control.

Available through MojoComputers, it offers an ideal balance between portability, precision, and professional-grade optics, making it a favored choice among indie filmmakers, content creators, and commercial videographers.

Cinematic Optical Quality

With nine lens elements organized in seven groups, including a high-precision aspherical element, the Rokinon 85mm Cine DS lens reduces spherical aberrations and distortion, producing clear, color-accurate footage. Its Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) lens treatment minimizes flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast and vivid colors, even in challenging lighting situations such as backlit scenes or direct light sources. The fast T1.5 aperture delivers a shallow depth of field with smooth, rounded bokeh, allowing filmmakers to isolate subjects with visually pleasing background blur that enhances storytelling.

Mechanical Design for Filmmakers

Constructed from durable all-metal materials, the Rokinon 85mm T1.5 Cine DS lens is built to withstand the rigors of professional shooting environments. Its focus ring offers a wide, approximately 200-degree rotation, providing fine manual focus control essential for cinematic focus pulls. Both the focus and aperture rings are geared at the standard 0.8 pitch, enabling compatibility with common cinema accessories like follow focus systems and matte boxes. The clickless aperture ring allows smooth, silent exposure adjustments, making it suitable for sound-sensitive productions. The ergonomically designed build balances lightweight portability with robust durability, weighing approximately 560 grams for comfortable handheld use as well as stable gimbal or tripod mounting.

Versatile Compatibility

The lens is optimized for Micro Four Thirds cameras, including popular models from Panasonic and Olympus, but can also be adapted to other mirrorless systems with the right adapters. The telephoto 85mm focal length provides about 170mm equivalent on MFT sensors, offering strong subject compression and framing versatility. This makes it ideally suited for portraiture, wildlife videography, interviews, and narrative filmmaking where deep focus control and image separation are vital.

Creative Applications

Whether it’s capturing intimate close-ups, dramatic profiles, or compressed environmental shots, the 85mm T1.5 excels in delivering professional cinematic aesthetics. Filmmakers benefit from the ability to shoot in dimly lit environments while creatively manipulating depth of field to direct viewer attention, emphasize emotion, and set tone. Its optical precision makes it perfect for 4K and 6K video workflows, where fine image detail and clarity are imperative.
