07Jan Save on Rokinon 24mm F/1.4 – Limited Time
The Rokinon 24mm F/1.4 sells for $615-$650 dollars (seen here), but for a limited time an authorized reseller is offering the new 24mm F/1.4 for $499 + FREE SHIPPING (all camera mounts). This is and easier lens to work with on a cropped sensor Canon, or even micro four thirds camera like the new GH3 as it would be closer to a 50mm (equivalent). If you’ve had your eye on this lens, check out the limited time sale via eBay (click here).

Canon mount is $699
January 7th, 2013 at 11:23 am
Hmm,
I see the ones for Olympus Panasonic, Pentax, Sony at $499.99 But the Nikon and Canon ones are much more expensive ($529.99 and $699.99 respectively).

Oh wait,
I’m a dork. If you actually click on the listing for the Canon version, it shows it on sale. Thanks for the heads up!

It seems that the Canon mount is not discounted . . . the only one listed substantially more $699?
January 7th, 2013 at 11:56 am
Great deal ! Unfortunately the Canon version is $699 + shipping.
January 7th, 2013 at 12:05 pm
$699 for canon mount? hmmm…
January 7th, 2013 at 12:54 pm
I’ve been wanting one of these for a while. The Canon mount is $700 though.
January 7th, 2013 at 1:16 pm
@Everyone – They changed the price pretty quick, but I would suggest buying the Nikon version and getting a cheap adapter to fit the Canon.
January 7th, 2013 at 1:56 pm
Well, changing the price was kind of a dick move
Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YM9L26/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=
607$ and free shipping if you want the canon mount.

Funny they went on the price and any seller on ebay has the Rokinon 24mm t 1.5 for 649.00 free shipping.

Now this is a cine lens and it cost less than the regular rokinon.
January 7th, 2013 at 3:13 pm
got this lens when it was on sale a few weeks ago (thanks emm). really lovely rendition and 24mm is highly useful for full frame, 1.6x as well as 2x crop. would recommend if you ever find it for a good price.

@ Cassius–this is cine version?
January 7th, 2013 at 4:20 pm
The link I posted was for the cine version of this lens and it’s for $649.00.
January 7th, 2013 at 4:21 pm
Just wondering how can they sale the regular version more than the cine version.
January 7th, 2013 at 4:23 pm
List price range from $649-$749 for the Cine Version.

@Cassius – The link you sent was for a ‘bid auction’ with several days left to bid. It’s not the ‘Buy It Now’ price, so eventually that one listing can sell for more.
January 7th, 2013 at 6:17 pm
But the second link I posted was for the cine version as well. Just saying that the 699.00 price jump is crazy for it just being the regular version compared to the cine style lens only 30 dollars more.

Keep in mind, this lens is extremely soft wide open, unlike the 35mm cine version wich i don’t have but have read to be sharper.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:17 pm
@boris – i have both the 24 and 35, and wouldn’t say the 24 is extremely soft wide open compared to the 35. 1.4 is perfectly usable, especially for video. i normally wouldn’t shoot photos on a manual lens anyway.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:24 pm
Looks like the canon is back on sale for 499
January 8th, 2013 at 10:16 pm
I already ordered mine, thanks Em!!!!
January 13th, 2013 at 11:04 pm

@lorenzo pickett – That sucks (sorta), but at least you got a good deal and they followed up with a response. I was not able to opt in for this lens, but i’m excited to see how this lens performs on the GH3 camera.
January 13th, 2013 at 11:54 pm
I know man I was all excited. Shipping initially stated that I would receive it on on the 11th so when it didnt come I emailed them. I can say they gave me a speedy response which I was please with but I wish they stated it upon purchasing it!! Anyway I am not making a big fuss, it was a great deal!! I will let you know when mine comes in!!!
January 15th, 2013 at 7:37 am
It looks like they have the Canon version at 529.99 which is still a great deal.

Emm!! just wanted to hit you with an “Update” My lens came in the mail today and dude I fell in love immediately!!!
The lens relatively light weight in comparison to my Canon 24-105 F4
The focus ring is smooth, the Bokeh is creamy smooth and it 1.4 this lens is much sharper than what has been portrayed in reviews that I have read. It feels like a very well built lens just as sold as the Rokinon 85mm and 14mm that I own. I can not wait to really test it out! I am sure this lens will be a hit among videographers!!
Thanks again for the post!!!!

@lorenzo pickett – Glad it worked out at the discount price. I’m very happy with the Rokinon Cine lenses that I have been using. Highly recommend these things for the quality you get for the price.
