User questions & answers

Question:	Is this not compatible with a full frame camera such as the Canon 6D
Answer:	Nope, it doesn't. For wide angle lenses is not common to have that feature.When in doubt, check the coding in the name. If it has an 'IS' it means it has Image Stabilization.
Question:	I am confused about wide angle lenses...Is this a good lense to use for portrait type pics and/or as a carry-around lense, mainly to take shots of my on vacations, etc? Do wide angle lenses always cause that "distort" effect of making the image/face look disproportional
Answer:	Yes it will. If you look at the 70D you can see a white dot on the silver ring where you attach lenses. That means it takes both regular EF AND EF-S lenses. It's *the* wide lens for crop sensor DSLRs.
Question:	Already have 50mm f/1.4 on my T3. For wide-angle should I get this prime(EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM) or the EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM(~$100 more
Answer:	its a 1.4 so lets in a lot of light, alllowing you to use higher shutter speeds, as a wide angle i use it in daylight so never needed stabilisation. it is an amazingly sharp, accurate lens you will be happy, it is my favorite lens with a a6000
Question:	will it work with rebel t5i
Answer:	Hello, its an e-mount lens, so yes, it will work with the a6500.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this lens compatible with a PENTAX K-r DSLR camera
Answer:	Yes, you can actually cut and combine 2 pieces together to make the cord hider even wider.
Question:	Which adaptor do you need for Canon 6D
Answer:	I have the large - I’m running 2 HDMI, 2 Power, 2 speaker cables and a camera cable through mind and there is plenty of room. If you are going with 2 cables I’d go small for sure. You could always put a wire tie at the top to keep it from sliding down
Question:	Can you attach a filter? if so what size
Answer:	Yes. Dust will collect, but it does not attract dust. My install is in the garage for a data rack. Very clean two months later. Easy to wipe clean. Attractive, smooth surface.
Question:	For astrophotography does this have a hard stop true infinity focus
Answer:	I believe the math is 130" divided by 12 = 10' 10". But math is hard. You cut it to size.

Product features

Rokinon 24mm F1.4

The Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC Lens gives you a substantial wide angle of view of 84° with full-frame Canon cameras. It can also be used with Canon APS-C cameras to provide a 57.6° angle of view basically equivalent to a 35mm lens on a full frame camera. It works well for landscapes, interiors, street photography and astrophotography.

Its 13 elements in 12 group design utilizes 4 Extra Low-Dispersion (ED) glass elements and 2 Aspherical elements to produce sharply defined images even in low lighting conditions. Focus can be as close as 9.84" for outstanding wide-angle close-up views.

Anti-reflection UMC coating (Ultra Multi Coating) enhances light transmission, increases contrast and reduces flare. The non-rotating 77mm filter mount provides allowseasy use of polarizers and other rotating filter types while the silky-smooth and perfectly-damped long throw action of the focusing ring provides precise focus control.

WIde Fast and Close focusing, the 24mm F1.4 will give you many options for portrait, fashion or journalistic photography

Prime Lens Advantage

Prime lenses are typically sharper than zoom lenses. They are less of a compromise. They don't require the extra glass that moves in order to zoom. As a result, you get a better quality photographs due to less diffraction, which increases with higher number of lens elements inside as in the case of zoom lenses.

The prime lens gathers more light as a direct result of the wider aperture, thus increasing the general quality of the image in low light.

Fixed focal length lenses generally have smaller number of elements inside and no moving elements (except for focus, of course). It means that the amount of distortion is significantly smaller when compared to the focal length equivalent of zoom lenses.

Low Distortion Wide Angle

WIth its low distortion wide angle capability and fast speed, the Rokinon 24mm F1.4 is perfect for architectural photography in low light situations.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a good lens for a documentary? Using a 70d, Will be filming mainly the inside and outside of buildings and also people (+interviews
Answer:	It’s an F2 NOT a 1.2. A 1.2 lens is very expensive to make. If it’s any consolation, a 1.2 isn’t that sharp when shot wide open (at 1.2) or even at 1.4. It doesn’t really get great sharpness until 1.8 so this F2 should be great for sharpness.
Question:	Will this fit my 5D Mark I
Answer:	No this lens will not get you closer than a 50mm. This is the equivalent of Nikon 35mm DX 1.8 d/g lens. A 50mm on a apsc camera like the 3100 will give you 75mm crop. This will give you a 52mm crop on your 3100.
Question:	How does this lens compare to the canon ef-s 24mm f/2.8 stm lens aside from one being for crop sensor only? huge price difference
Answer:	Yes. I used it on my D750. In fact, it has been on it since I have it. I am very happy with the lens and cannot believe it was less than $100... blew my mind. Autofocus is a little slow but no problematically so. I detect some vignetting also, probably more than the more expensive lenses. For me, it satisfied my desire for a wider prime than the 50 mm that I had historically always used. I did have to fine-tune the AF and the amount it needed was near the limits of the camera AF fine tuning settings... beyond that, it is fantastic!
Question:	What's the difference between this lens and the 24mm f/2.8 stm lens? and which one would be a better lens to take group shots for weddings? thanks
Answer:	Yes it is. It will fit right on without any adapters
