The new Rokinon 12mm T2.2 NCS CS Ultra Wide Angle Cine Lens is specifically designed for mirrorless cameras. With a 35mm focal length equivalency of 18mm for Fuji X Mount Digital Cameras, this lens offers a wide 98.9-degree angle of view. Featuring a maximum aperture of T2.2, it is particularly effective in low-light capture and can control shallow depth of field for precise subject focus with pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds. Its minimum focus distance is 7.9 inches, and the front filter thread accepts 67mm size filters.

The lens's impressive optical construction consists of three Extra-low Dispersion elements, one aspherical, and one hybrid aspherical element. The nano-crystal coating is applied to the inner surface of the two front-most lens elements to minimize ghosting and flare, thereby improving overall image clarity.

As a lens designed for shooting HD video, the Rokinon Cine lens offers features that differentiate it from "photo lenses." It features a clickless aperture ring, which is not only silent but enables smooth transitions between stops and the ability to shoot between those stops. Furthermore, it relates aperture in T-stops (Transmission-stops), a more accurate measurement of the light entering the lens that actually makes its way to the image sensor, providing a more consistent measurement from lens to lens.

Additionally, a Cine lens features geared aperture and focus rings to enable the use of focus pull apparatus, such as a follow focus system. This feature is particularly useful for videographers who require precise control over focus and aperture changes during filming.

In summary, the Rokinon 12mm T2.2 NCS CS Ultra Wide Angle Cine Lens is a versatile and high-performance lens designed for mirrorless cameras. Its wide angle of view, fast maximum aperture, and specialized video-centric features make it an attractive choice for both photographers and videographers seeking superior image quality and creative control.
