Buy: SLR Magic 10mm T/2.1 Hyperprime Cine Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras Focus Type: Manual Focus, Format: APS-C, Lens Type: Wide Angle, Markings: Feet, Maximum Aperture: T2.1

The SLR Magic 10mm T/2.1 Hyperprime Cine Lens is an ultra wide angle lens exclusive designed for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount cameras. The field of view corresponds to 20mm in 35mm format which opens up many new creative possibilities, in particular architectural and landscape cinematography and photography. As usual with all the CINE lenses it is integrated with a smooth decoupled greared aperture ring (allows seem-less transitions of exposure) and gearing to the focus ring to allow ease of use for "follow-focus" systems. The maximum fast aperture of T2.1 makes the 10mm Hyperprime Cine Lens ideally suited to available light photography. The lens is dedicated to Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount cameras, currently Panasonic, Olympus and Blackmagic Cinema cameras. The SLR Magic 10mm Hyperprime is a manual focus only lens with a superb anodized, metal body manufactured to the highest standards.

beautiful lens.  If you want low light and creamy bokeh from your MFT camera, this is the way to do it. This has instantly become my go-to lens for video work.

My new favorite lens

Solid build, all metal or glass. A hefty solidly built lens much like an old vintage lens.  I like that I can add a ND filter.  Pretty sharp looking image all over the image at f4 or 5.6 or smaller. When set wide open at T2.1 there is some softness in the corners. The focus and aperture rings are pretty stiff to turn, I am not sure if a cheap remote focus rig like the Nano will have the torque to focus this lens. The image is pretty rectilinear. Not perfect, but decent, there is not a lot of barrel distortion, just the expected perspective distortion you would expect from any wide lens. Image has low CA which is nice.  This will be replacing my 7-14 which has too much CA. Note, I had to slightly modify this lens for it to mount properly to the Blackmagic Pocket 4K camera.The tiny screw head on the MFT mount was oversize preventing proper lens locking to the body. It fit my GH5 fine without modification. It was a simple matter of removing the screw, filing the screw head to be slightly smaller diameter, then reinserting.

Decent build and quality lens at the right price.

focus ring had some tight spots.  ended up returning it and getting the Voigtlander

inconsistent feel of the focus ring

I'm a huge fan of SLR Magic Lens.  I will be shooting in DEAD of Winter and @ night with this beauty.

TEAM MAGIC.

I've owned version II, and this one loses the retractable hood and instead uses a thicker metal front with a 52mm thread instead of 49mm.  Image quality stays the same, still some CA at T0.95 but that's to be expected.  sharpens up at 1.4.  
Great low light lens from SLR Magic.  I've owned almost all their lenses at one point or another.  Great for cinematic wedding film shots.  Get the 12mm, 25mm, and 50mm and you're good to go!
