Optimised for Super 35mm
Designed specifically for Super 35mm/APS-C sensors, this lens provides an ultra-wide perspective equivalent to roughly 16.5-30mm on full-frame cameras. This makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of crop-sensor cinema cameras, ensuring optimal coverage.
Consistent Exposure with Constant T2.9 Aperture
Maintaining a consistent T-stop throughout the zoom range is crucial for consistent exposure and depth of field when zooming during a shot. This simplifies lighting setups and ensures visual continuity throughout your dynamic shots.
Achieving Parfocal Zooms
A key feature for cine lenses, the parfocal design ensures that focus is maintained as you zoom in or out, eliminating the need to refocus after a zoom. This is essential for smooth, professional zoom moves in video.
Minimised Focus Breathing
Engineered to exhibit very low focus breathing, providing stable framing during focus pulls. This subtle yet crucial detail helps maintain a professional aesthetic by preventing distracting shifts in background elements.
Seamless Cine Integration with Standard Mechanics
Equipped with industry-standard 0.8 Mod gears on all three rings (focus, iris, zoom) for seamless integration with follow focus systems and lens motors. This ensures precise and reliable manual control.
Smooth & Silent Aperture Adjustments
The de-clicked iris means the aperture ring is smooth, silent, and stepless, making it ideal for exposure adjustments during video recording without audible clicks.
