Sigma 18-35mm T2.0 Fully Luminous High-Speed Cine Lens for Sony E, Feet

Discover the pinnacle of cinematic artistry with the 18-35mm T2.0 Fully Luminous High-Speed Cine Lens, meticulously crafted for Sony E-mount cameras. This high-quality lens is a testament to Sigma's commitment to excellence, offering a versatile zoom range of 18-35mm that caters to a wide array of scenes and subjects. With its reliable T2.0 aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and provides filmmakers with exquisite control over depth of field for that sought-after cinematic look.

The lens's innovative design is engineered to deliver outstanding resolution, ensuring it is fully equipped for the demands of 6K-8K filming. Its compact form factor defies expectations, packing top-tier performance into a durable and portable package that offers incredible value for professional cinematographers.

Sigma's rigorous quality control process includes a meticulous inspection of each lens, utilizing their proprietary A1 Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) measuring system. This attention to detail ensures that even the most subtle high-frequency details are captured, guaranteeing lenses that meet the highest standards of sharpness and clarity.

Flare and ghosting are minimized through advanced computer-based ray tracing, enhancing contrast and image quality, especially in challenging backlit conditions. The result is a lens that combines sharpness with a beautiful bokeh effect, fulfilling the stringent requirements of both still photography and cinematic production.

Color balance across Sigma's cine lens lineup is standardized according to their CCI standard, simplifying color correction in post-production. The optical system, shared with Sigma's still photography lenses, is optimized for 50-megapixel or higher resolution, making these lenses not only ready for high-resolution shooting but also ideal for chroma keying.

The build quality of this cine lens is nothing short of remarkable. Its lightweight and compact design are the fruits of Sigma's high-efficiency production technologies, offering all the essential functions for cinematography without the bulk. The dust-proof and splash-proof construction, akin to that of the Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM/Sports lens, ensures reliability in even the most challenging environments.

The lens's 100% metal body is built to withstand the rigors of professional use, while the luminous paint on the specification, gradation baseline, and lens change indications enhances visibility in low-light conditions. The FULLY LUMINOUS version takes this a step further, with numbers and gradations on the rings finished with luminous paint for ease of use during night shoots.

Laser engraving on the lens rings ensures that information remains legible over time, and the standardized 82mm front filter size allows for the use of common ND filters across different lenses. The front diameter of 95mm is compatible with most matte boxes, maintaining Sigma's commitment to convenience and compatibility.

The standardized gear positions and 0.8M gear pitch on the rings facilitate seamless integration with follow focus systems and other accessories. Silent ring stoppers, designed with a special resin damper, eliminate noise during operation, making this lens suitable for quiet on-set environments. The 180-degree focus rotational angle and optimized cam design enable precise and smooth focusing, essential for capturing the perfect shot.

Manual control of the iris ring, devoid of clicks, allows for smooth exposure adjustments, with a linear design that provides consistent rotational angles per T-stop. The Sony E-mount ensures compatibility with the Sony FS series and other E-mount cameras, while the electronic contacts on the mount facilitate communication of vital lens data to the camera body.

Each lens comes with a dedicated lens support foot to reduce strain on the camera body and enhance mount stability. The robust design includes two screw holes for added versatility in mounting options. To top it off, a conventional cine-style front lens cap is included, ensuring your lens is protected when not in use.

Embrace the fusion of performance and convenience with the 18-35mm T2.0 Fully Luminous High-Speed Cine Lens, and elevate your filmmaking to new heights.
