Does the Rokinon 14mm T3.1 DS autofocus?

No. It is a fully manual lens with no autofocus motor, so you focus by hand using the geared ring.

Does it work on a gimbal or follow focus rig?

Yes. The focus and iris rings are geared and the aperture ring is de-clicked, which is what most rigs expect.

Can I use screw-on filters with it?

No. The petal hood is permanent and there is no filter thread, so you need a matte box or rear-gel holder for ND filters.

How wide is it on APS-C or Micro 4/3?

On APS-C it behaves like roughly a 21mm lens and on Micro 4/3 like roughly 28mm, so it is less extreme than on full-frame.

Is it sharp wide open?

The center is usable at T3.1, but corners are soft until you stop down to about T5.6.

What mounts are available?

It comes in Canon EF, Canon M, Fujifilm X, Micro 4/3, Nikon F and Sony E versions, so check the mount before ordering.

Corner sharpnessCriticisedReviewers report soft corners at T3.1 that clean up by around T5.6.
DistortionCriticisedFull-frame users see strong barrel distortion that needs correction in post.

FiltersCriticisedThe fixed hood leaves no filter thread, so ND and polarizer use needs a matte box.
