 SLR Magic 25mm T0.95 Hyperprime Cine III Lens MFT The SLR Magic 25mm T0.95 Hyperprime Cine III Lens is one of the World's brightest 25mm lenses available. This is the new updated version which has been strengthened to assist operation when using with the Anamophot, anamorphic adapter. Lens support is still recommended, particularly when using additional dioptres. Aimed at movie and film use with a smooth decoupled aperture allowing seemless transitions of exposure. The fast T0.95 aperture allows shallow depth of field and offers a dreamy and unique character. The 25mm is also perfect for both low-light photography and cinematography. The lens is dedicated to Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount cameras, currently Panasonic, Olympus and Blackmagic Cinema cameras. The 25mm Hyperprime is a manual focus only lens with superb metal construction to the highest standards. The impressive workmanship is well suited for professional use. Both aperture and focus rings have integrated gearing for use on follow focus systems and camera rigs. The 25mm focal length makes it an ideal 50mm equivalent focal length. SLR Magic 52mm 0.4-1.8 Variable ND Filter - Mark II The SLR Magic 52mm 0.4-1.8 Variable ND Filter - Mark II is a high quality variable neutral density filter providing a reduction of about 1.3 to 6 stops (ND1.3 to ND64) with 62mm rear filter thread. This variable Neutral Density filter creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed. The degree of density is easily controlled by rotating the front filter ring via the non-removable lever. Calibrated markings (12 reference points) make it easy for repeatable positions. The front filter ring has a larger diameter than the rear which is designed to avoid vignetting, even when using with wide angles lenses. The latest Mark II versions feature the ability to rotate the filter without unscrewing it from the lens, assisting the orientation of the polarization effect in Vari NDs. This is particularly useful when dealing with the polarization effect expansive skies in landscape photography for example. The SLR Magic Vari ND filters are the highest quality multicoated optical glass to ensure the best performance. Variable ND filters usually show striation patterns in the out-of-focus circles of confusion in the bokeh but the SLR Magic Variable ND filters are optimized to suppress such unwanted artefacts. Suitable for film or still photography use. Includes protective case and front lens cap.

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!
