Rokinon Cine DS DS100M-C 100mm
Delivering true 1:1 magnification at a 305mm minimum focus distance, this 100mm T3.1 prime captures life-size macro details on full-frame sensors while its cine-centric design features unified focus and aperture gears for consistent follow-focus swaps. The 9-blade diaphragm and Ultra Multi-Coated ED glass render smooth bokeh and suppress flare, with de-clicked aperture and dual-sided scales reinforcing its video-first ergonomics. This lens is best for macro videographers and filmmakers who need precise manual focus and accurate T-stop exposure for product cinematography or detailed nature footage.
