Wide-Angle Cine Prime for APS-C

The Rokinon 16mm T2.2 Cine Lens is a manual-focus prime built for digital filmmaking on Nikon F-mount cameras. It covers APS-C and smaller sensors with an 83.1° angle of view, making it suited for landscapes, architecture, interiors and tight establishing shots. The T2.2 aperture supports low-light work and shallow depth of field. Filmmakers needing autofocus or full-frame coverage should look elsewhere.

Optical Construction and Coating

The lens uses 13 elements in 11 groups, including one aspherical and one hybrid aspherical element to control distortion and chromatic aberration. Multi-layer Ultra Multi-Coating reduces flare and ghosting for contrast retention in bright conditions. Engraved focus, aperture and depth-of-field scales sit on the barrel for on-set reference. No electronic contacts or motorised elements are present.

0.8 Pitch Gears and De-Clicked Aperture

Industry-standard 0.8 pitch gears on both focus and aperture rings allow direct attachment of follow-focus units and iris motors. The de-clicked aperture ring enables smooth, silent iris pulls during recording. The bundled kit adds a three-piece filter set, hand strap, full cleaning kit and cap keeper for protection and handling. No lens hood or mounting adapter is included.

Questions about this item

How do I mount this Rokinon 16mm T2.2 Cine Lens on my Nikon F camera and what step is often missed?

Align the lens mount index with the camera body mark, twist until it clicks, then remove the rear cap. The step people miss is leaving the aperture ring on auto; set it to the desired T-stop manually for cine use.

What maintenance will this lens need over time and which parts are most likely to wear?

Clean the front and rear elements with the included microfiber cloth and solution when dust appears. The 0.8 pitch geared focus and aperture rings may develop slight play after heavy follow-focus use; a technician can re-shim them.

What limit appears first during long takes with this 16mm T2.2 lens?

The 13-element, 11-group optical design with aspherical elements controls distortion well, but the 83.1° field of view on APS-C sensors means edge sharpness and vignetting become noticeable before thermal or mechanical limits.
