A truly fast prime for mirrorless cameras, the black 35mm f/1.2 ED AS UMC CS Lens from Rokinon is designed for APS-C-format Canon EF-M-mount cameras, and provides a 56mm equivalent focal length. This lens is characterized by its bright f/1.2 maximum aperture, which allows for extensive control over depth of field and selective focus, and also benefits shooting in difficult lighting conditions. The optical design incorporates one extra-low dispersion element and two aspherical elements in order to minimize both chromatic and spherical aberrations, for increased clarity and sharpness, and individual elements also feature an Ultra Multi-Coating to reduce lens flare and ghosting. The manual focus design affords precise focusing control down to 1.25′ and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm also contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
