Is this lens for stills or video?

It is designed for video. It has a click-free aperture, a tally lamp and cine-style controls, though it can take stills on a Sony E-mount body.

Does it have image stabilization?

No. Stabilization comes from the camera body or a gimbal, so pair it with a stabilized Sony body for handheld work.

Will it cover a full-frame sensor?

Yes. It is a full-frame lens and also works on APS-C Sony bodies, where the field of view narrows to roughly 52mm equivalent.

What filter size does it take?

It takes 58mm filters, a common size that keeps matte box and screw-on filter costs down.

Can I use it with a follow-focus rig?

Not easily. It has no geared focus or iris rings, so it suits autofocus and manual-by-wire shooting more than traditional follow-focus setups.

Does it match other Rokinon Cine AF lenses?

Yes. The Cine AF line is color-matched and shares a similar body size, so swapping focal lengths needs less rig re-setup.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat it as a practical autofocus cine prime for small crews, praising its weight, bokeh and tally lamp. Criticism centers on the lack of geared rings and on it being slower than dedicated manual cine primes.

What people mention

WeightPraisedOwners like that it stays under 300g, which keeps gimbal and drone setups simple.
AutofocusMixedReviewers find autofocus useful for solo work but note it can hunt in low-contrast scenes.
BokehPraisedThe 9-blade iris is said to give natural, rounded out-of-focus highlights.
Cine ringsCriticisedShooters used to manual cine lenses miss geared focus and iris rings for follow-focus rigs.
BuildPraisedThe metal mount and weather sealing are seen as solid for the size.
ApertureCriticisedSome crews say T1.9 is slower than the T1.5 primes they normally rent.

About the Rokinon 35mm T1.9 AF Cine Lens for Sony E

The Rokinon 35mm T1.9 AF Cine Lens is a full-frame prime lens with a Sony E mount, made for video content creation. It is the third lens in Rokinon's Cine AF lineup, which has 5 focal lengths from ultra-wide to medium-tele. The lens supports resolutions up to 8K and is color-matched with the other lenses in the series, so color tone stays consistent when lenses are swapped.

The lens measures 73 x 70mm and weighs less than 300g (9.9 oz). The lineup shares a unified form factor, so gimbal and drone setups do not need to be re-balanced or reset when changing lenses. It has a metal mount, weather sealing and a 9-blade iris for natural-looking bokeh.

An LED tally lamp on the front and at the mount index shows whether video is being recorded. The lens has autofocus and does not have image stabilization.
