    Overview

    The LOMO OKS1-22-1 22mm f/2.8 is a vintage cine lens known for its distinctive optical character, often compared to Cooke lenses at a lower cost. It produces unique colors, contrast, bokeh, and flares, including blue circles and psychedelic rainbows. However, build quality is a major weakness: the lens is heavy (nearly 1kg), with dry, grinding focus and aperture rings, and the front rotates during aperture adjustment, complicating matte box use. It suits filmmakers seeking a characterful, affordable wide-angle cine lens who can tolerate mechanical quirks.
