Consistent Aperture for Dynamic Shots
The lens maintains a constant T-stop (T2 for S35, T3 for FF) throughout its respective zoom range. This simplifies exposure control during dynamic shots, ensuring consistent brightness and depth of field as you zoom.
Compact & Lightweight for Agile Productions
Designed to be highly portable and well-suited for handheld work, gimbals, and Steadicam, this lens is a versatile choice for agile productions where mobility is key. Its adaptable nature further enhances its utility.
Minimising Focus Breathing
Focus breathing is well-controlled, ensuring that the field of view remains stable during focus pulls. This contributes to a professional aesthetic, preventing distracting shifts in background elements.
