Rokinon Series II 14mm f/2.8 14mm

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3,421)

Covering a 115° full-frame field with a fast T3.1 aperture and full weather sealing, this 14mm cine prime captures dramatic wide-angle shots in harsh conditions. Color-matched across the DSX line, it streamlines multi-camera shoots and slashes post-production grading time. It’s best for cinematographers needing a rugged ultra-wide lens for narrative establishing shots and cramped interior work.
