Rokinon EF-mount cine primes get temporary price cuts — 20mm, 24mm and 50mm listed

Mirrorless cameras dominate the conversation today, but plenty of shooters still run EF glass on Canon bodies and DSLR-style workflows. For those teams keeping Canon EF rigs in service, a trio of Rokinon cine primes has been marked down to the prices shown below.

The three lenses in the offer are the Rokinon 20mm T1.9 Cine DS; the Rokinon 24mm T1.5 Cine DS; and the Rokinon 50mm T1.5 AS UMC Cine DS. Each is an EF-mount model and carries a fast T-stop aimed at low-light and shallow-depth-of-field shooting. The listed price for the Rokinon 20mm T1.9 Cine DS Lens for Canon EF is $429, the Rokinon 24mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Canon EF Mount is $497, and the Rokinon 50mm T1.5 AS UMC Cine DS Lens for Canon EF Mount is $349.

These Cine DS models are pitched toward filmmakers and video shooters who want manual control over focus and aperture, and who prefer the optical character and handling of dedicated cine-style primes over adapted stills glass. The T-stops named in each model indicate the lenses’ maximum light transmission, which helps when building a kit for narrative, commercial or documentary work that calls for consistent exposure and shallow depth.

Keeping an EF-mount option in your kit can be a practical choice when a production relies on legacy lenses, specific adapters, or body platforms that remain part of a studio’s standard operating setup. Fast primes like these are useful when you need low-light capability or the compressed backgrounds that come with wide apertures, and the focal lengths here cover a useful portion of the field-of-view spectrum: wide, wider-normal, and standard portrait-length.

Rokinon’s Cine DS line is often chosen by shooters who want cine-style ergonomics without stepping into higher-priced cinema-lens territory. The three entries named here give teams a reasonably compact set of fast primes for EF bodies, suitable for run-and-gun or controlled studio work where manual rings and predictable optical behavior are important.

If you still operate around Canon EF glass, these reduced prices make it practical to fill gaps in a prime kit without switching mounts immediately. That can be valuable for rental houses, indie filmmakers and hybrid crews that mix older camera bodies with modern capture techniques.
