I will be testing it on my micro four thirds Panasonic GH4. Overall it's a well built lens optically being very sharp with smooth bokeh and physically with a buttery smooth aperture and focus ring.

Hi my name is Nathan, I’m a cinematographer based in Florida, I’m sharing what I learn in concise videos. Subscribe for my film tutorials, gear reviews, short films and behind the scenes content, every week on UA-cam.
That focus pull at 2:55 was gorgeous
BoKeH!
This is the second time I watch this video, I am about to order this lens for video work and this is the best review of it, thank you !
Rokinon 16mm T/2.2 CINE Lens Review and tested on the GH4. This is a great lens overall, but will be awesome when used on a APS-C sensor or with a speedbooster. amzn.to/2xRx8Ex
Also I inlcuded a shot filming handheld, as you can see it's a bit shaky, but some stabilization in post can help out a bit. I would definitley use a rig or use a tripod though.
You deserve way more subscribers, you're so talented at what you do!
Ezra Wood Thank you Ezra, I appreciate the kind words!
I have their 12mm and 85mm offerings. I found the look to be real consistent between the Rokinon family of lenses, which helped during post-prod of last week's 48hr competition.
How frequently do you use the 85?
Nate's Film Tutorials closeups and inserts. Its MFT, so really tight. I normally lean towards the Lumix 42.5 prime as its my go to.
Great review Nate, I hope you will do some of the other Rokinons too! Thanks for sharing!
that bokeh was digging 2:55
Is there barrel distortion, I'd like to see how straight a line stays across the lens.
The rokinon designed this lens (and 12mm f2) for APSC. So if you used this on gh4/gh5/gh5s with Metabones XL (0,64) won't be vignetting? I thinking about this combo: Roki 16mm f2, Metabones XL on gh5s just I'm afraid won't work because the crop is 1,149 on DCI 4k (almost full frame), and 1,17248 on stills (16:9 time lapse for example).
If you do ever get that focal reducer/speedbooster be sure to do a video on it. It’s something I’d definitely consider buying in the future if I stay in the Panasonic m43 realm. Easier shallow DOF is such a must and obviously it’s harder to achieve at wide enough angles on these crop sensor cameras.
Alec M Visuals Exactly. I’m actually looking at purchasing a used c100, we’ll see haha
Nate's Film Tutorials oh wow awesome.. This EF mount cineglass purchase will be a great investment then🙌🏼
The mark i has came down in price considerably, still it's not as cheap as a g7 haha. But it may be a good business investment. I've heard people got many jobs just from owning it
Hello, I have questions about the calculation of the lens mm in relation to the crop factor of the m4/3 and the Rokinon lenses. Should I multiply the mm by 2x (for example: a 24mm becomes 48mm) and then 0.71? In other words, a 24mm is equivalent to 35mm, a 35mm is equivalent to 50mm, a 50mm is equivalent to 70mm and an 85mm is equivalent to 120mm?
Lindão mano !!!! Sensacional o vídeo, muito obrigado.
Obrigado, que bom que foi útil!
Great review bro
Nate ! I defiantly enjoyed this review , I feel like this would make a great Add on to my street photography collection ! Thanks buddy Well done !
Thank you! I feel I've been struggling with the content recently, so in the mean time I'm going to review some of my lenses. Thank you for the encouragment
Great video Nate. I definitely need to pick up some Rokinon glass, after watching this video!! 👌🎥
Prabhjot Singh thanks!
Just picked up the 35mm for my Nikon.
i couldnt agree more. i myself own 16mm t2.2 on my canon 70D. And it works like a charm. Samyang/Rokinon produces affordable sharp lenses. Now im considering to grab either 85mm t1.5 or 35mm t1.5 for my apsc camera. which one do you think i should buy first?
Agusta Wicaksono I would probably go with the 35mm first and then the 85mm. I find myself using the wider focal lengths more often.
Rokinon 16mm T2.2 Cine DS Lens for Micro Four Thirds fix and work in a lumix g7?????
Really good video, I would definitely want to see more of this stuff.
And great thumbnail.
Practically Practical.2 Thanks Practical! what’s your name by the way?
I plan on reviewing some of my vintage lenses soon
I'd like to see that, I'm Herbie.
Practically Practical.2 Thanks Herbie
Nice video Nate :) I was thinking about viltrox + tokina 11-16mm but now I'm leaning more towards this rokinon :) Have you tried Tokina? If yes, how can you compare those 2?
I have not tried the tokina, but I was looking at getting that. 11mm is substatially wider and you have the flexibilty of the zoom. As far as the image quality it will be sharp. build quality is a bit clunly though
But if you have a m4/3 mount how would you add a speedbooster to get the correct focal length.
My Rokinon lens is Canon EF. I recommend getting this mount over the 4/3 mount that way you can add an adapter or speedbooster
I am thinking about buying a 16mm but for my m4/3 camera bmpcc. Do you think it’ll work out to be a good lens?
Rokinons give a nice filmic feel. If your down with manual controls, I would say it’s a great option
Does the passive Adapter effect the image or focal length?
Great Video 👍
The answer is no, but in some cases it may slightly. Because a passive adapter has no optics the quality of the image remains. Now depending on your cameras sensor size. The equivalent focal length will vary.
@@NatesFilmTutorials Thank you very much, this is very helpful
And one more question: what’s your opinion on another 16mm T2.6?
Nice Video! Get yourself the Viltrox EF-M2 phenomenal focal reducer for a budget. 🙌🏿
Momo Ghaffar I’m glad another company was able to compete with metabones. $600 is ridiculous
So true, got mine from china under 150€.
www.tomtop.com/p-d5237.html?aid=mmghfr&cr=ViltroxEFM2
Video is awesome! Bro.
MediaWiser Thank you!
Dude, nice video. One question, I can only find EF lens with f2.6 and full frame coverage... f2.2 I find with EF-M mount and APSC coverage. Did you review that second one I'm referring to?
This lens covers APSC, and has the EF mount.
@@NatesFilmTutorials thanks for reply, but at Samyang store (www.samyanglensglobal.com/en/product/product-srch.php?category=D&camera_type=&sensor_size=&lens_type=&mount=&best_for=&f_category%5B%5D=D&mount%5B%5D=201) for "EF" there is only 16mm 2.6 (and for FF), when I add filter "EF-S" to see more lenses, this one appears (16mm 2.2), so to be super precise, your lens is EF-S, right?
@@NatesFilmTutorials OK, so I'm just after testing this lens with Viltrox 0.71 speedboster and GH5. There is no vignette, but the sad news is... it's not focusing to infinity :( So no extra stop of light, because it's unusable. Or maybe if I'd use two adapters, passive and boosted?
Excelent review!, I was searching something like this for a while. I'm selling my 12mm f2 Samyang mft mount and my 24mm f1.4 Samyang EF mount (the 24mm is so soft for me even at 2.8, it's not sharp at all) and I plan to combine this 16mm with both my lens turbo II from Zhongyi, when a 23mm full frame look is needed, and a passive adapter when a 32mm full frame look is nedeed. So I will end up with this 16mm, the 7artisans 25mm f1.8 (which is incredibly sharp for its price) and my Samyang 85 T1.5.
Nice plan! What do you think of the 85mm? Debating on whether to get that or the 50mm first
@@NatesFilmTutorials I'm so happy with the 85mm. I use it a lot wide open at T1.5 and the results are so good, just the depth of field is so sallow that nailing the focus is complicated. The lens are a little bit soft at that aperture, but sharp at the same time where the focus is, and organic and natural (something impossible on the 24mm for example, that was extremely soft and dirty even stopping it down). If you stop the lens down a little bit to T1.8 or 2, the sharpness rises like crazy. I bought this lens not because I use that focal lenght a lot, but because its price and I was always curious about that focal lenght with an extreme bokeh. I plan to go for the 50mm but after the experience with the 24mm, I want to be sure that is a good and sharp lens.
Should I purchase this one or the 12mm first? Currently have a 35mm. Thanks!
I would purchase EF Mount Lenses, so you have the option to adapt it to other cameras.
@@NatesFilmTutorials in terms of size though, should I buy the rokinon 16mm or a 12mm first? (prime lens)
this lence to okey for profeshnol video making??
I have a Metabones XL that I use with my GH5 and it is literally the best thing I've ever purchased! I believe it makes the GH5 have a FOV and DOF of a 1.5 or 1.4 Crop Camera, which is basically Super35mm! I Can't recommend one enough! I have a vid on my Channel where I talk about it and show some shots (GH5 Video)
It's like magic!
Seriously! (Just realized it's also on my other Channel, same name lol)
Cameron Gallagher could you link to your video?
Nate's Film Tutorials ua-cam.com/video/mfl_EIObUAM/v-deo.html
How do you get focus to infinity with this lens and speedbooster? Mine doesn't work (but I own Viltrox EF-M2)
Can I use this lens on my Nikon DSLR with or without any adaptor if yes which adaptor should I buy please do reply🙏
Just buy a Nikon Mount version. :)
@@NatesFilmTutorials i saw this lens on ebay in pretty mint condition around 200dollar but it's canon version,is there any problem buying that lens and use an adaptor for my Nikon DSLR ?TYSM💓
Yeah there is no way to adapt canon lenses to Nikon unfortunately
Just ordered mine. Why do you get the full frame one with an adapter insted of just an M4/3 lens
TheDankAtheist That way I can mount it to a other cameras as well as use a focal reducer if I decide. Either mount is the same, but an ef mount allows you to have flexibility.
Great video Nate! Are there any drawbacks to using passive adapters? I always thought you lost light due to the lens being further from the sensor?
do you think its better to use adaptors instead of getting the micro four thirds mount version???
Adapters! If you switch systems you’ll be able to use it on other cameras. Also Canon lenses are easier to seek used.
@@NatesFilmTutorials I was thinking of a rokinon 35mm on a speedbooster would that turn that more into a 30mm?
If you get a speedbooster, then take 35mm x0.71 or .64x depending on which one. That takes it to 24mm
@@NatesFilmTutorials dang really ?I thought it would take it to a 30mm m43..all that stuff confuses me but i think that extra bokeh would be pretty cool..hard decision cuz then you lose the field of view the lens actually provides ya know
All a speedbooster is trying to do is get to original field of view the lens would have using a larger sensor like an apsc camera on a m43 sensor. It’s not exactly the same or a perfect solution because it behaves differently.
In use, you don’t really need to keep track of lens equivalency, only when using multiple cameras with different files of views and trying to match them.
Don’t get caught up in all the numbers. Lol
what happened if I attach this to my full frame a7iii ?
it'll vignette in full frame mode. you could use the apse crop though
what is the bgm ? used in this video

thank you so much!
ROKINON 16mm f2.0 vs Rokinon 16mm T/2.2 CINE Lens?????
I like the Cine gears and de-clicked aperture , otherwise they are identical optically
Why not using just mft mount lens?
You can use it on more cameras
speedbooster changed the quality of original footage
can i use this lens with canon m50?
Yep! You will need the Eos m to EF adapter to do so. :)
Man that soundtrack crackle is way over done and distracting.
Lol like your face! Nice lens!
Caleb S. Thanks!
why nobody care about how it make photos ??? who buys this lens for movies ?!?! All the lenses and cameras have mostly only video review....is a photo camera lens.... I want to know how it makes photos not fcking videos
There are two version the cine t/2.2 and the photography f/2. Since people who are interested video would be the cine version this review is for them. Christopher Frost has a wonderful review of this for photography. Also this my channel where I share my interests, if it’s not exactly what you need keep, check out other reviews
