With its wide zoom range, the lens is designed as a fast all-rounder that covers a broad range of shooting scenarios, from portraits to travel. The premium design and performance of 2nd Generation lenses have been applied to the lens, and it also supports the key features of recent Panasonic mirrorless bodies. Covering everything between 35mm and 150mm, Rokinon has moved a step forward with its innovative second-zoom lens to provide a more convenient user experience. The lens is remarkably versatile as an all-in-one lens with fast maximum apertures and provides a solution for photographers seeking to avoid lens changing. Outstanding Resolution, from corner-to-corner - Thanks to the latest optical design of 21 elements in 18 groups and featuring an optimal combination of 2 ASP, 1 HB, 3 HR and 6 ED elements the lens presents superior optical performance throughout the entire zoom range.

I work primarily in video, with some photography mixed in, and the Rokinon 35-150mm F2.0-2.8 zoom lens has been a complete game-changer. While it isn’t quite as razor-sharp as my collection of prime lenses (25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm), the difference is virtually impossible to notice in video footage. In fact, even in still photography, you only see a marginal difference if you zoom in to around 400% on the images.The versatility of maintaining a wide-open aperture (F2.8) throughout most of the zoom range is ideal for shooting in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. Having the flexibility to go from 35mm up to 150mm without swapping lenses saves time, lightens my camera bag, and streamlines my workflow on set. The bokeh at 150mm and F2.8 is outstanding; it creates a dreamy depth of field that can really bring out an artistic flair in your shots.Regarding autofocus, this lens does not disappoint. It’s fast, reliable, and works accurately when you need to lock onto a subject quickly—an especially important factor for event videographers and run-and-gun shooters. Overall, it might not match a top-tier prime’s sharpness under extreme pixel-peeping conditions, but for most practical uses, it’s more than adequate. The sheer convenience and performance have prompted me to sell most of my primes, and I haven’t regretted it.Pros:Excellent versatility from 35mm to 150mm in one lensWide aperture (F2.8) across the zoom range for low-light shootingFantastic bokeh at 150mm/F2.8Fast and accurate autofocusCons:Not quite as tack-sharp as dedicated primes (though the difference is minimal for video work)Slightly larger and heavier than a single primeBottom Line:If you need a single lens to cover a wide focal range for video and stills, the Rokinon 35-150mm F2.0-2.8 is an outstanding option. It merges convenience, speed, and high-quality imagery into one all-around zoom lens.

This lens is consider native first party mount for L mount because of the L mount alliance. The auto focus is fast, image quality is great as primes but it is a bit heavy but worth it. And because it’s native mount you don’t even need a lens station like other mounts for this camera. Just download your firmware onto your SD card and update thru the camera. That’s how I did it with my s5II

Sweet-spot large aperture zoom lens for L-mount. Just pair it with 18/24 mm primes or 14-24/16-28/16-35 mm wide zoom lens and that's all you need to get rolling in style on L-mount. It weighs 1.2kg but it replaces a host of primes (35 50 85 100 135 150 mm with f2-2.8). It has a linear stepper motor AF and it works really well with latest version 3.4 firmware (firmware updates the same way as any Lumix S lens - by copying the firmware file from Rokinon directly onto the root of the memory card and selecting Firmware info from the camera menu). It uses 82mm filter thread. Aperture adjusts as follows: 35mm f2.0, 50mm f2.2, 70mm f2.5, 85mm f2.7, 90-150mm f2.8. If you need a constant aperture, you can force it to f2.8 and think of it as 35-150mm f2.8 lens - still awesome. Great deal for the price and performance but if you don't lift, you might want to grab one of the lighter yet still very capable lenses as an alternative: 24-105mm f4 or 28-200mm f4-7.1.

I purchased the Samyang L-mount version of this lens on the day it was released. I use it for concert photography, events, and portrait sessions on my Panasonic Lumix DC-S1. The newest firmware (version 2.1 - released September 2, 2024) fixed the issue I was having with the lens (shutter lag when the aperture was not wide open). Since then, there have been zero issues with the lens. I hope Samyang/Rokinon will release more lenses for L-mount!
