Rokinon 24mm, 35mm, 50mm & 85mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens Bundle Review & Test Footage

I have been looking to buy these as well but in a slightly different configuration: 20, 35 and 85. Sadly this bundle doesn't exist!
Equivalent photo lenses from other companies may offer better close focus or even optical stabilization but the major downside for me (even if the lens is not fly by wire) is the narrow focus throw of 90-110 degrees, which is just too cumbersome for smooth and confident manual focusing. The only exception I know of is the Tamron 35mm 1.8 VC - focus throw of 190 degrees, with decent stabilization and MFD of only 20cm.
Things seems to be getting better though. The new Panasonic L-mount lenses and bodies have this amazing feature of not only making the focus speed linear but also set the desired focus angle!

Thank you .. amazing review

Good video. I have been considering a Wide-Screen bundle as currently shooting on APS-C sensor and the crop factor will 'push' the focal length higher. Once I have a better (full frame) camera I can top-off the kit with individual buy of a longer lens.

Sir price?

They have a vintage quality to them. Thank you👍

What camera were you using to shoot your test footage?

Thanks for the great review and for sharing your findings... cheers

Good review.

As these lenses are made for full frame sensors, can they be used with APSC or crop sensor cameras?

How is the focus breathing compared to other lenses you have used? I also read that the 24/35 are not as good as the 50/85 at breathing

Good job brother you answered the questions I had about the lens I myself have the 50mm and 85mm but after seeing this review I for sure am going to buy the other two

Wow, these shots are pretty amazing, much beyond my expectations. Looks like a great deal grabbing some of these lenses…

Beautiful shots! Question!!! Are you able to see focus picking on the bmpcc6k? I was wondering because these lenses are not electronic!!! Thanks 🙏

nice review!! are you guys also from Norwalk CT?

Why are the wider lenses bigger?

It would be amazing if you'd review the Cine DSX lenses too :D
Thanks for this review

I have the 14mm, 24mm, 35mm, and 85mm and I love them for the price.

nice, which follow focus was that?

Very amazing! if I'm not mistaken the bridge house appear in one of the episode of TV show THE WALKING DEAD

will these work on a blackmagic pocket cinema 4k? and could these fit viltrox or metabones adapters for that camera? thanks

Not compatible with full frame?

Thanks for the video. How about auto focus when you use them with a sony A7 IV camera (or similar)? does it work perfectly? and is the auto focus noisy?

Is thisbthe bridge from the movie "Bridges of Madison county"?

Are these auto focus lenses?

Great review video.

very good..

Beautiful footage. Currently this kit is on sale at B&H for $1575. Normally $2350. Definitely fantastic lenses for the price.

The focus throw is very small, only between 90-110. It didn't bother you?

Great video! I was on the fence about buying a Rokinon Bundle because of the old saying, "you get what you pay for," but now I'm confident that they'll do the job for me. Thanks!

Love the West Cornwall footage...my home!! Are you local to there?

Which Rokinon lens should I start with? I'm new to filmmaking and have gotten a BMPCC 6k g2 camera. I'm planning on shooting short films.

Hello, there are already film lenses for 500 euros. Can you tell me if they are better for photography as well as film? If so, what are they better at? I want to buy it, but I don't know if it's worth it. Well thank you!

Hey Man¡ Thankyou for your review, Im thinking start with this hobby but I don´t have much money. What do you think about Black Magic G2 or Pro?

Very nice review. I purchased the Rokinon 8mm, 14mm, 35mm, 85mm & the 135mm a couple of years ago before getting the Blackmagic 6K Pro. I also find it easier to work with these budget-minded lenses as opposed to my Canon EF lenses. I’ve done short films & clips and my colleagues can’t tell if I used these moderately priced lenses or top of the line cine lenses costing 10 times as much. A good story and good cinematography techniques are what most people focus on anyway. If we weren’t told that “The Creator” movie was shot on the Sony FX3, how would we have possibly known? Sure couldn’t tell by looking at the film.

I've seen theses lenses tested against Cook, Leica and Canon cine lenses worth 5 to 10+ times the price and the Rokinons looked fantastic. Even against a US$24k lens. I own a complete set and they are, BANG for buck. the best lenses you can buy. There's NOT even competition below USD$2.5k for a single lens and yet I bought an entire set for under AUD$2.5k. Absolutely stunning image quality for the price....
