New 8mm Cine Lens From Rokinon

Rokinon has been making some pretty decent manual lenses for a while now. Their 8mm, 14mm and 85mm have been out for a while. But you can now get your hands on the 8mm F3.8 “Cine” lens from B&H Photo Video. And the price is crazy… $350 is all that is standing between you and this great lens.

I love how someone is making an affordable lens that has filmmakers/video shooters in mind. I REALLY hope this turns into a line of Rokinon Cine lenses!

    Agreed. My first thought when I read about this lens on canon rumors was that I would love if Rokinon did the same with their 24mm, 35mm, and 85mm lenses. Imagine a full set of quality cine primes for less than the cost of just one Zeiss CP.2

    Dare we dream?

    Is that a built in lens gear for a follow focus on the focus ring? That would be sweet until it got worn out/beat up.

    they are making the 35mm 1.5t also. will ship in mid-august.

    How shallow of a DOF you think you’re going to get with an 8mm (13mm crop) lens wide open at f3.8? This lens isn’t made for bokehlicious shots.
