Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC Lens for Sony E Mount

The Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC Lens, compatible with Sony E mount, is a prime wide-angle lens suitable for both full-frame and APS-C sensors. When mounted on an APS-C sensor, it provides a focal length equivalent to 36mm. This standard wide-angle lens excels in various photographic scenarios, including landscape and street photography. Its impressive maximum aperture of f/1.4 enhances performance in low-light environments and allows for precise control over selective focus and shallow depth of field.

The optical design features two aspherical elements that effectively reduce chromatic aberrations, resulting in sharper images. Additionally, a UMC coating has been applied to the lens elements to minimize surface reflections, thereby reducing lens flare and ghosting, which contributes to improved light transmission and richer contrast in images. Furthermore, the lens is designed for manual focus and includes an inner-focusing mechanism that preserves its overall length during focus adjustments.

• Wide-angle prime lens is well-suited to use in a broad variety of shooting situations.
• Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and provides greater control over focus placement for shallow depth of field applications.
• Four extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements reduce chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater sharpness and clarity.
• UMC coating improves light transmission and suppresses lens flare and ghosting for more contrast-rich, color-neutral images.
• Inner-focusing mechanism maintains overall lens length while focusing and helps to prevent dust from entering the lens barrel.
• Eight rounded aperture blades help to produce an aesthetic out-of-focus quality to benefit selective focus and shallow depth of field imagery.
