This lens is great... But, I returned it to purchase the new APO micro primes with the EF mount.. They are lighter, smaller and made with the same glass.

Great lens so far, with beautiful rendering.

The SLR Magic APO-HyperPrime is a professional cine lens, through and through. I have been putting it through its paces over the last two weeks, and it has not skipped a beat. The footage is crisp, but not clinically sharp, the color rendering is very pleasing, especially on skin tones, and the bokeh has an incredible smoothness throughout the range. The interchangeable mount has made this a very versatile lens, and helps to make this a safe investment, as it can evolve as you change camera systems throughout the years. The mechanics have been very sound. It has a smooth but firm focus throw, and a much longer iris throw than I have seen in some competitors. All in all, after two weeks, you would have to pry this lens out of my cold, dead hands. I will be picking up the rest of the set, and never looking back.

Sharp and clean.

The SLR Magic APO HyperPrime Cine Lens is one of a new collection of fast primes aimed at professional cinematographers. When taking pictures with many image-dominant, open light sources, it is common for correction defects to show up. However, because the SLR Magic APO-HyperPrime CINE is an apochromatic (APO) lens, longitudinal chromatic aberrations are corrected by its unique optical design and selection of optical elements.
The color defects are therefore significantly lower than the defined limits. Bright / dark transitions in the image and especially highlights, are rendered with no colorful artifacts. Thanks to the low level of longitudinal chromatic aberration, there are no visible aberrations. So an illuminated portrait scene by night with many light sources in front of and behind the actual focal plane appears close to reality, without displaying complementary, color contrast edges.
The superior performance delivered by the SLR Magic APO HyperPrime CINE is consistent for all shooting distances. Its high performance with an open aperture also makes this lens a great choice for portraits or close-ups. Features a completely new optical and mechanical design, which has been developed to take into account the special and increasing demands of high-resolution cameras including those with 4K and 6K sensors.
The APO HyperPrime CINE lens series comes standard in PL mount and can be easily adapted to numerous camera systems. Optional mount adapters will include PL-mFT adapter, PL-E adapter and EF mount conversion adapter. The lenses all feature a standard focus rotation angle of 300 degrees and uniform measurements. This combination makes the lenses ideally suited for professional cinematography.
