Would you please explain diferences between this lens and Rokinon Cine CV35-C 35mm T1.5 Aspherical Wide Angle Cine Lens with De-Clicked Aperture

The cine lens has follow focus compatibility (you can hook the focus ring up to a follow focus rig) and it also has a de-clicked aperture which means that there aren't hard stops when changing the aperture. So you could rack the aperture mid shot just as you would rack focus. The image quality is the same.

Actually, for portrait I really much prefer something like 85mm to have a really nice bokeh and isolation of your subject. A 35mm is awesome to have put not primarily for portrait because you will endup always being so close to your subject that it becomes almost embarassing!

http://www.5min.com/Video/Portrait-Photography-Tips-72416664 The main difference is the working distance from the subject. The video I posted will help you better understand. The 85mm has better bokeh also.

I have the Fujifilm 23mm and really like it, but it I had just one lens, I would select the 35mm because in the 35mm film format, this would have the same angle of view as a 52.5mm lens. The standard lens for the film cameras was a 50mm to 55mm lens. This provided a more natural perspective to the human eye. Wide angle lens. like the Fuji 23mm, somewhat distort the view making things further away than they actually are. The 35mm will also give you are better head and shoulder shot. When shooting the landscape, the 23mm will give you a broader view, but the details of the Grand Canyon will be lost. Both lenses are optically very good. Both are fast - f1/4, but the 35mm is $300 less!

The one I bought was a 77mm and it was a "C". I'm pleased with the performance and if you Google around you can find test data where it scored quite nicely. http://www.lenstip.com/113.4-article-UV_filters_test_Description_of_the_results_and_summary.html

I didn't keep the lens because it didn't seem to offer me anything that my Canon 10mm-22mm did. However, I have two other Rokinon lenses that I love. The cine features are the no click aperture and follow focus gears (the little ridges that encircle the lens). I don't see why you couldn't use it for photos. Just be cautious of the aperture changing as it does not click/lock.

This is a Macro Lens, if you have no need for Macro photography, then the 35mm f/2.4 is a better deal. This lens can shoot both regular and macro distant objects.

There is definitely a noticeable difference. The 56 has most definitely been my go to for portraits. On top of the sharpness there is also a creamy character to the bokeh. Overall this lens brings a magical quality to the images.

Hi Pedro,We'd really like to help you out, but we feel that we couldn't give you an accurate answer without first knowing the model number for the Rokinon lenses you're interested in. We hope to hear from you, so we can accurately answer your question.Sorry to answer your question with another question.

I believe the C is their Cinima line. I believe the only addition is the new lens coating for reduced glare and such. I don't believe this one has the T stops insetad of F stops which is typically associated with the Cinima line. A word of caution, I think the A setting for aperature is very handy and would recomend paying the extra cash to get this feature.

I have both lenses. My experience is that both provides same good image quality. Lack of OIS i do not know.. I use the 25 mm more than the 45 mm now since i can use it for portraits by moving a bit and also "normal" day to day use

Okay, thanks a lot, new at this and I wasn't sure if the lens quality is the same. I appreciate everyone's help!

Actually no, this one is a prime lens with a maximum aperture of 1.8 while the 18-55 is a wide lens with a maximum aperture of 3.5 (at least the one I have, which is a DA L 18-55 Pentax lens).

Keep in mind it's a fish eye lens (so some straight lines will be curved), this is to allow the exceedingly wide view. As long as you get the canon mount. It's identical (rebranded) to any Samyang, Rokinon or similar 8mm f/3.5 lenses. You won't have the focus confirmation ligth (as the lens isn't chipped) and the camera won't control the aperture (so when you stop down the view will dim), but everything else should work. They're fun lenses!

the 20mm lens is a bit slower to focus but considerably sharper, I used them both with Cross Country action shots, and the 20mm blew the 17mm out of the photographic water so to speak.

I do not know. I do NOT own the Rokinon lens. I returned it because it was too large to handle for me.
