Update your cinema lens set with a wide-angle lens with this 14mm T3.1 DSX Ultra Wide-Angle Cine Lens from Rokinon that comes in a Sony E mount. The DSX continues the line with the same multilayer coating process, industry-standard geared focus and iris rings, and a fast T3.1 aperture, and it adds a 9-blade iris for beautiful, soft bokeh, weather sealing to keep the moisture out, and focal lengths on both sides for added versatility for focus pullers.

This ultra-wide 14mm lens produces 115.7° coverage when used with full-frame sensors, 98.4° with Super35 sensors, and 92.5° with APS-C sensors. Hybrid aspherical lenses render sharply defined images with a minimum of distortion, low chromatic aberrations, extra-low dispersion, and a high refractive index. It features a minimum focus distance of about 11" from the lens to create dramatic close-up shots while being very close to your subject. A built-in petal-shaped lens hood provides flare protection when shooting without a matte box.

As well as delivering the beloved image quality and fast T-stop values of the existing DS series, this high-speed DSX model now has weather sealing, nine aperture blades, and focal lengths that are visible on both sides for more professional use.

The DSX range is highly versatile and available in Canon EF, Sony E, Nikon F, Canon RF, Fuji X, Canon M, and MFT mounts.

Ultra Multi-Coated lenses minimize flare and ghosting, and the lenses are color matched to a standard eliminating the need to acquire an entire set of lenses at the same time.

Lenses in the Rokinon DSX high-speed cine lens series share common focus and iris gear ring positions, which speeds up lens changes as accessories such as follow focus units or iris motors don't have to be repositioned.

Focal lengths and measurements in feet and meters on both sides of the lens.

De-clicked aperture ring for smooth iris pulls.

A minimum focusing distance of 11.02" allows you to get up close to your subject.

Q: 4. Hello, I just purchased a new XEEN 14mm T3.1 Canon mount and Im having an issue that I hope you can help me with. I am using the lens on a Blackmagic Cinema Camera MFT and I am adapting to MFT with the Metabones Speedbooster. My problem is this: With the aperture set to 3.1 the image goes soft and blurry at infinity. I can pull a sharp image if the subject is extremely close (12 or less) but the farther away it gets the blurrier it becomes; like the lens is nearsighted. If I close the aperture a bit the problem goes away but then getting enough light becomes an issue and the lens is still very nearsighted; meaning that if the subject is 6 or more feet away Im having to focus to ?, way way off from the markings. On the spec sheet it says the minimum focus distance is 11 but I can easily pull sharp focus on an object as close as 4. Really clear up close but blurry far away. Is this an issue with the lens? Camera? Speed booster? I should say, I have been using a set of standard Rokinon Cine Lenses with great success 24, 35 and 85 also with a Metabones Speedbooster and, to be honest they seem to be pulling in a sharper image than the XEEN. Being that the ZEEN lens is literally 5x the price that doesnt seem right. What do you think?

A: I do not think anything is wrong with the lens or the camera. Rather, I would suspect the adapter. If the lens is not held exactly in the right place, at the precise flange focal distance, you will have the issues you are describing. In other words, the lens is not at the proper placement to the sensor and therefore it cannot focus to infinity. On top of this, the situation is exacerbated with wide angle lenses in general. While everyone knows that wide angle lenses have great Depth of Field in front of the lens, at the rear of the lens the Depth of Focus (or the area in front or back of the sensor where the lens is placing the image) is extremely limited. (Over on telephoto lenses the opposite is true with limited Depth of Field but huge Depth of Focus.) So I suspect that the Metabones Speedbooster (you did not mention which one you had.) holds the Rokinons well enough but is not holding the 14mm Xeen in the precise position required. I would then have to suggest contacting Metabones with the model of adapter you are using for their opinion. Hopefully, you may able to exchange just the adapter and clear up the problem. However, the solution may have to be sending the camera, the adapter and lens to a camera technician for proper adjustment. info@a href= http://metabones.com target= _blank metabones.com/a

Q: 5. Are the lens optics, coatings and build quality of the Samyang 14mm T3.1 VDSLRII identical to the Rokionon 14mm T3.1 DS lens?

A: The lenses are made in the same factory by the same people. If there are significant differences between the two lenses, they have yet to come to light.

Q: 6. Can this lens work on aps-c sensor? I have an A6400 but I am curious if there will be crop on the image or if adapter is needed.

A: Yes, the Rokinon 14mm T3.1 DSX Ultra Wide-Angle Cine Lens (Sony E Mount), and all other full-frame lenses, can be used on an APS-C camera.

Q: 7. What kind of horizontal distortion does this lens render on full frame around the top and bottom of the frame? Does it have barrel distortion, bulge distortion, pincushion distortion, or wave/ wiggle distortion? Do lines stay straight horizontally?

A: All extreme wide lenses exhibit some level of barrel, chromatic, and rectilinear distortion. If you wish to avoid these negatives while using wide lenses, do not get too close to your subject and cause barrel distortion or tilt and cause leaning lines. That being said, rarely are there any wide lenses that are truly bad otherwise lens manufacturers would not make any money. Getting on to your question, this Xeen 14mm lens' performance is not known at this time. However, it is based on the Rokinon 14mm and we know that to be very good, especially in light of its low price. Final note: Wide and tele lenses have characteristics unique unto themselves. In the beginning of their camera career, people often look at these characteristics as negatives to be overcome. In time, the user knows what to look for and then exploits these characteristics to storytelling advantage.

Q: 8. Does this lens have autofocus capabilities?

A: No. The following unit is a manual focus and aperture lens.

Q: 9. does this product offer image stabilization?

A: No. It does not have stabilizer. Its simple as a cine lens.

Q: 10. Does this fit a Canon C200, 6D, and/or a 5D Mark lll?
