Additional information:

Introducing Rokinon’s Remaster Slim—the ultimate lens for photographers who want versatility without the bulk. Inspired by classic point-and-shoot cameras, this compact lens offers the flexibility of three focal lengths—21mm F3.5, 28mm F3.5, and 32mm F2.8—all in one lightweight system.

With its modular design and magnetic bayonet mount, switching focal lengths is fast and easy. Weighing just 2.35 oz and only 19.5mm thick, it’s small enough to fit in your pocket, making it perfect for capturing moments on the go.

With 7 aperture blades, it delivers creative control in any scenario. The STM motor provides fast autofocus, while the AF/MF switch offers precision when needed, making this lens a professional performer for both full-frame and APS-C cameras.

Compact & Lightweight
One Remaster Slim lens and base module weighs 40% less than other Pancake Lens. Despite its small size, it houses an STM (Linear Stepping Motor) that provides fast, responsive, and precise auto-focus.

Ultra Slim Design

ONE MODULE, THREE FOCAL LENGTHS
