Wide-Angle Prime for Canon EF
The Rokinon RK35MC is a 35 mm f/1.4 manual-focus wide-angle lens that mounts directly to Canon EF DSLR bodies. Its 63.1-degree angle of view on full frame and approximately 43-degree view on APS-C suit landscape, street and environmental portrait work. Twelve elements in ten groups, including hybrid aspherical surfaces and multi-layer coating, reduce flare and ghosting. A 77 mm filter thread accepts standard circular filters.
Passive Thermal Behaviour
The all-metal barrel dissipates heat passively during extended shooting, with no motorised focus or stabilisation to generate extra warmth. Manual aperture control from f/1.4 to f/22 involves no electronic drive noise, keeping operation silent for video capture. At 2.38 lb and 3.30 in long, the lens adds minimal mass to the camera body, so balance and handling remain steady during long sessions.
Build Integration Needs
The 77 mm front diameter and 3.26 in maximum barrel width fit common matte boxes and filter systems without vignetting. A removable petal hood is included to shield the front element from stray light. Minimum focus distance of 1 ft (30.48 cm) allows close-up detail work, while the compact 3.30 in length leaves room in tight bags. Buyers needing autofocus or electronic aperture communication should consider alternative lenses.

Questions about this item
How do I mount this 35mm f/1.4 lens on my Canon EF body, and what step do people skip?
Align the red dot on the lens barrel with the red dot on the Canon EF mount, twist clockwise until it clicks, then remove the rear cap; the step often missed is setting the camera to manual-focus mode because this lens has no autofocus motor.
What maintenance or replacement will this RK35MC need over time?
The 77 mm filter thread accepts protective filters that should be cleaned with a microfibre cloth; the manual aperture ring and focus helicoid have no electronic contacts to fail, so only physical damage or heavy dust inside the 12-element optical group would require professional service.
What limit appears first during extended shooting at f/1.4?
The shallow depth of field at the maximum f/1.4 aperture makes precise manual focus the practical limit; focus peaking or magnification on the camera body helps, but the 1-foot minimum focus distance and lack of focus confirmation chips mean critical sharpness relies entirely on the photographer.
