The Rokinon 24mm f/1.8 AF consists of 11 elements in 8 groups and 7 special lenses (2 Aspherical + 3 High Refractive Index + 2 Extra-Low Dispersion). In addition to these, it also has ultra multi-coating, which can control spherical aberration and coma efficiently when it comes to astrophotography. Surprisingly, its latest optical technology can allow photographers to get excellent corner-to-corner resolution via speedy wide angle.

Rokinon official says that the lens has a wide-angle view of 83.7° and a minimum focusing distance of 7.48” (190mm), which allows photographers to take some great images in less than perfect situations. It features weather sealing and can protect the camera lens from dust, rain, snow. Its Rounded nine-blade diaphragm is great for a pleasing out-of-focus quality when using selective focus or shallow depth of field techniques.
