Rokinon Xeen 24mm T1.5 CINE Lens for Canon EF - Professional Cinema Glass

5 delivers professional cine performance at a fraction of the cost of competitors. 5 aperture excels in low light, and the 11-blade diaphragm creates pleasing out-of-focus highlights. The aluminum housing feels, and the unified gear positions make lens swaps quick on set. On the tradeoff side, this is a fully manual lens - no autofocus or electronic communication. 7 pounds, it's on the heavier side, so a support rig is recommended. The 114mm front diameter works with standard matte boxes. At $797 - 42% off the original price and well below recent averages - this is a steal for independent filmmakers and video pros. Sharp, solid, and consistent with the Xeen lineup, it's a smart investment for narrative or commercial work.
