16mm T2.2 Cine Lens for Sony E-Mount

The Rokinon CV16M-NEX is a manual-focus prime lens built for Sony E-mount cameras. It uses a 16 mm focal length and a de-clicked T2.2 aperture ring for smooth exposure changes during video recording. Integrated follow-focus gears on the focus and aperture rings allow precise control with standard cinema accessories. The optical design uses 13 elements in 11 groups including two aspherical elements to reduce distortion and chromatic aberration.

Suits APS-C and Micro Four Thirds shooters

This lens covers APS-C and Micro Four Thirds sensors, delivering an 83.1° angle of view on APS-C and 67.6° on Micro Four Thirds. It includes a removable hood and accepts 77 mm front filters. Videographers who need silent, stepless aperture control and geared rings for follow-focus systems will benefit from the cine-oriented design. Photographers who require autofocus, electronic aperture communication or full-frame coverage should consider other options.

16 mm focal length with T2.2 aperture

The 16 mm focal length combined with a maximum T2.2 aperture defines the lens’s field of view and low-light capability on crop-sensor bodies. This specification determines whether the angle of view and depth-of-field characteristics match the intended shooting scenario.

Questions about this item

Does the Sony E-Mount on this 16mm T2.2 Cine lens support electronic aperture control or EXIF data transfer?

The lens is a fully manual design with a de-clicked aperture ring and no electronic contacts, so aperture changes and focus distance are not communicated to the camera body.

What physical clearance does the 16mm T2.2 Cine lens need on a Sony E-Mount body, and what is the front filter thread?

It uses a native Sony E-Mount flange distance and has a 77 mm front filter thread; the removable hood slides over the barrel without extending the mount depth.

How is the follow-focus gear on this 16mm T2.2 Cine lens installed, and what is the common alignment mistake?

The focus and iris gears are built into the lens barrel; the usual error is mounting a follow-focus unit so its gear teeth do not fully engage the lens gear pitch, causing skipped teeth during pulls.
