Achieving an Evocative Cinematic Look
The Sumire primes are specifically engineered to impart a distinct aesthetic—warm, organic, and slightly softer than clinically sharp lenses. Utilise them to create a more “filmic” and emotional feel, allowing the lens to contribute directly to the mood of your visuals.
Beautiful Bokeh & Characterful Flare
A key feature is their ability to produce exceptionally smooth and pleasing bokeh, which gracefully separates subjects from their backgrounds. They also create distinctive, attractive lens flares that add character without being overly distracting, enhancing the cinematic quality.
Full-Frame Coverage for Modern Cameras
These lenses are designed to cover full-frame sensors, making them compatible with a wide range of cameras via the PL mount. This ensures broad applicability.
Consistent Mechanics for Streamlined Workflow
The lenses share consistent physical dimensions (e.g., 114mm front diameter) and gear positions for focus and iris. This streamlines matte box, follow focus, and lens motor setups, saving valuable time during lens changes on set.
Smooth Focus & Silent Aperture
They feature a long, smooth 300° focus rotation for precise manual focus pulls, essential for delicate cinematic focus shifts. The de-clicked iris allows for seamless and silent aperture adjustments during recording, crucial for maintaining clean audio.
Embracing Artistic Character
These lenses are for filmmakers who want to imbue their images with a specific character and emotional quality directly from the glass, rather than relying solely on post-production. They are tools for artistic expression from the moment you hit record.
