Rokinon Cine DS DS24M-C 24mm
Its fast T1.5 aperture and multi-layer coated optics deliver strong low-light performance and controlled flaring for a 24mm full-frame cine lens. The manual focus and de-clicked aperture ring provide smooth, precise control for rack focusing, housed in a lightweight 55g body with a common 77mm filter thread. This lens is best for independent filmmakers and videographers needing an affordable, wide-angle prime for narrative work on Canon EF mount cameras.
