Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC Manual Lens for Canon EF-Mount {77}

Rokinon 24mm f/1.4: proven wide-angle speed at a manual-focus price

At f/1.4, this 24mm prime gathers serious light for a wide-angle lens, and the 13-element, 12-group formula includes four ED glass elements to keep chromatic aberration in check across that full 84-degree field of view on full-frame. Two aspherical elements handle geometric distortion, and UMC multi-layer anti-reflection coating keeps contrast strong when shooting into the light. The aperture ring, distance scale, and depth-of-field scale are all present, giving you the manual controls that deliberate shooters actually want.

Minimum focus distance sits at 0.25m, which opens up tight foreground compositions that most wide primes can't touch. The 77mm filter thread is standard enough that you likely already have the polarizer or ND filters to fit it. Manual focus only means you're making a conscious trade, but for tripod work, video, or any shooter who already reaches for the focus ring anyway, the optical return for the price point is genuinely hard to argue with.

Who It's For

Landscape photographers shooting on a tripod will find the f/1.4 aperture and 84-degree full-frame coverage useful for low-light golden-hour work, where manual focus is no penalty at all. Videographers benefit from the aperture ring and manual focus for smooth, repeatable pulls. Street photographers who zone-focus can use the depth-of-field scale to work fast without hunting autofocus. Astrophotographers get a fast, wide lens with ED glass elements that keep star points clean near the edges of the frame.

FAQ

Is this lens autofocus?

No. Manual focus only-there's an aperture ring, distance scale, and depth-of-field scale so you control everything. For tripod work, video, or deliberate shooting, that's exactly what you want.

How close can you focus with this 24mm?

0.25m (9.84 inches) from the front of the lens. That's unusually close for a wide-angle prime and opens up tight foreground compositions most 24mms can't touch.

What's the field of view on APS-C?

57.6 degrees. On full-frame it's 84 degrees, so APS-C narrows it to closer to a standard wide-angle perspective.

Does it have autofocus and autofocusing capability?

All focus and exposure functions are manual. No autofocus.

What filter size does it take?

77mm thread. Standard enough that most shooters already have polarizers or ND filters that fit.

How does the optics handle flare and chromatic aberration?

Four ED glass elements reduce chromatic aberration across the full frame, two aspherical elements control geometric distortion, and UMC multi-layer anti-reflection coating keeps contrast strong when shooting into the light.

Is this lens weather-sealed?

No weather sealing on this one.
