    Product Description

    The ROKINON 50mm f/1.4 AS IF UMC Digital Photo Lens is a high performance prime 50mm lens, considered to be the “standard” focal length for Full Frame Format, fills the gap between the highly rated Rokinon 35mm and 85mm models. Offering a very fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, low light shooting, action stopping fast shutter speeds, and shallow depth of field control are yours to enjoy. Providing a “normal” 46.2 Degree field of view on Full Frame (FX) sensor cameras, it’s perfect for everyday photography. With APS-C sensor cameras, it provides a 75mm focal length equivalent (30.8 Degree field of view) and with Canon APS-C sensor cameras an 80mm focal length equivalent (29.0 Degree field of view) which is perfect for portraits. Lens construction consists of nine high performance glass lens elements, with special anti-reflective Ultra Multi-Coating, arranged in six groups including one Aspherical and one Hybrid-Aspherical lens element. All combine to ensure outstanding resolution, sharpness and contrast while reducing ghosting and flare in all lighting conditions. Focusing using the textured rubberized focusing ring is precise, silky smooth and quiet, while its internal focusing (IF) mechanism prevents both changes in length and rotation for easier use of polarizing and other orientation sensitive filters. Additional features include a circular 8-blade diaphragm enabling pleasing out-of-focus highlights (Bokeh) and an aluminum alloy chassis for enhanced durability, a removable lens hood (reversible for storage), lens caps, lens pouch, instruction manual. Manufactured in South Korea and engineered for optimum performance, Rokinon utilizes specialized glass types and multi-coating techniques to produce serious tools for photographers and film makers who appreciate high image quality with quiet, silky smooth and complete focusing control.

    Customers are mixed about the appearance of the camera lenses. Some mention that it takes beautiful photos on a full-frame device, and the 85mm is great for portraits. However, others say that the color rendition seems a bit flat, and can get a little blocky in the shadows and darker. There's also some color shift and artifacts around sharp outlines, and chromatic aberration is bad all the way up to F8.

    "...While the 12mm is excellent for landscape and the 85mm is great for portrait, this lens is a wonderful combination of the two...." Read more

    "...However, it’s a beautiful lens if your final output is to the internet. The depth of field at 1.4 can’t be beat, it’s just gorgeous...." Read more

    "...The image quality is just kinda bland. Chromatic aberration is bad all the way up to F8. Anything over F11 is too soft and unusable...." Read more

    "Fun to use a manual lens again. Nice images. Low the low light power. I don't like the lens cap. Too hard to grip when taking on and off...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the sharpness of the camera lens. Some mention that the aperture it offers, and the sharpnes is incredible, while others say that it's not sharp enough and there's some color shift and artifacts around sharp outlines.

    "...It was a basic test. It's sharper and more contrasty than the other 50s. What you don't see is how smooth the bokeh was...." Read more

    "...Anything over F11 is too soft and unusable. Shooting wide open at F1.4 produces very soft, washed out images in all lighting conditions...." Read more

    This is the sharpest, most contrasty, smoothest bokeh MF 50mm 1.4 I've ever used.
    5 Stars
    This is the sharpest, most contrasty, smoothest bokeh MF 50mm 1.4 I've ever used.
    I've tested this on my 5D and it's great there, definitely better than Canon's 50mm F1.4 USM - IF you can take the time for manual focus. That said, I don't like manual focus on that camera as much as I used to. My eyes just can't see like they used to :DSo I use this lens with a focal reducer on my Panasonic G9 - a micro four-thirds camera. With a focal reducer, the lens assembly acts as a 35mm F1.0. This makes this a VERY high-quality ultra-fast lens, that's not too long on m43's 2x crop factor.I've uploaded some images.The first is a comparison I did with this lens vs several other manual 50mm F1.4s. It was a basic test. It's sharper and more contrasty than the other 50s. What you don't see is how smooth the bokeh was. How well it resists flare.Next is this 50mm F1.4 on a focal reducer adapter, mounted to my Panasonic G9. On the G9 the hand grip is big, and the balance is great. The other cameras there are smaller micro four-thirds cameras to give you an idea of the size of this lens.Finally a couple of pictures of models for a little real-world performance. Bunnies. These were shot wide open indoors. For a 35mm F1.0 (on focal reducer), it's blissfully sharp.If using with a focal reducer, I'd recommend a pixco (excellent for the price), or metabones (if you get lucky).

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is my 3rd Rokinon lens and will definitely not be my last!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2017
    I've shot with Rokinon lenses on a Sony A6000 for the past 2 years and own a 12mm, an 85mm, and now this 50mm and this is by far my favorite. While the 12mm is excellent for landscape and the 85mm is great for portrait, this lens is a wonderful combination of the two. This lens is easy to pick-up and I highly recommend it for beginners. It is a fixed lens, so keep in mind that this does not have the capability of zoom. But it is excellent for mid-range portrait and landscape pictures. The bokeh (the blur around the center subject of the photo) is superb and it picks up colors and depth wonderfully. Additionally, the focus is manual, so it picks up on the subject much quicker than an auto-focus. I'll admit, sometimes it is tough to ensure your subject is in focus but as you become more familiar with the settings and functionality, this is not an issue. If you're looking for an all-around, easy-to-use lens, this is your answer.
