Rokinon DS14M-NEX 14mm T3.1 Cine Lens Sony E-Mount

The Rokinon 14mm T3.1 Cine DS (DS14M-NEX) is purpose-built for filmmakers working with Sony E-mount cameras who need an ultra-wide perspective without the premium price tag of top-tier cinema glass. With 14 glass elements arranged in 10 groups and an ultra multi-coating, the lens delivers sharp, flare-resistant imagery across its expansive 115.7-degree field of view on full-frame sensors. The fast T3.1 aperture provides solid low-light capability and creative depth-of-field control, while the declicked aperture ring allows smooth, silent iris adjustments during recording.

What sets the Cine DS line apart from Rokinon's standard photo lenses is its cinema-specific design. The focus and aperture rings feature industry-standard gearing at unified positions across all Cine DS focal lengths, so swapping lenses on a follow focus rig is quick and straightforward. The dual focusing scales — marked on both sides of the barrel — give camera assistants easy readability from either side of the camera. Color matching across the DS lineup means footage shot with the 14mm will cut seamlessly with other DS lenses without extensive color grading. With a minimum focusing distance of just 11 inches, this lens also offers creative close-up possibilities for an ultra-wide. It is an excellent value-driven option for indie filmmakers and content creators building out a matched cine lens kit on Sony E-mount.
