If you're a professional cinematographer or photographer looking for a high-quality, durable, and versatile cine lens for your Canon RF mount camera, the 35mm T2.1 Cine Lens is an exceptional choice. This lens is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern content creation, whether you're capturing a documentary, tying the knot in a wedding, or producing a music video.
Crafted with precision, the all-metal construction of the lens housing ensures robustness and longevity, while the metal bayonet mount provides increased accuracy and a secure fit to your camera body. The smooth surface of the lens complements its professional design, making it a reliable addition to your gear.
The 35mm T2.1 Cine Lens boasts an expansive 45mm image circle, adept at covering the full-frame sensors of leading cinema cameras such as the Canon C500 Mark II and Alexa LF. This wide coverage ensures that your images will be captured with edge-to-edge sharpness and clarity.
Outstanding optical performance is at the core of this lens, featuring a sophisticated arrangement of 14 elements in 9 groups. The multilayer coating on these elements enhances light transmission, effectively minimizing lens flare and ghosting, and supports the capture of stunning 8K resolution imagery. With a minimum focus distance of just 33cm (12.99"), this lens enables you to get close to your subjects while maintaining a beautifully blurred background, thanks to its favorable focus throw of 330 degrees.
Focus breathing is virtually unnoticeable, ensuring that your images remain stable and consistent throughout focus pulls. Both the aperture and focus rings are equipped with industry-standard 0.8 pitch gears, allowing for seamless integration with follow focus systems.
The lens's 85mm front diameter is complemented by an 82mm front filter thread, making it compatible with a wide array of affordable filters, thus expanding your creative possibilities. The fast T2.1 maximum aperture is not just about low light prowess; it also provides you with exquisite control over the depth of field, allowing for the creation of cinematic shallow focus effects.
Boasting 11 aperture blades, the lens renders pleasingly round bokeh, ensuring that out-of-focus areas of your image are as aesthetically pleasing as the in-focus subjects. This combination of features makes the 35mm T2.1 Cine Lens a professional and reliable choice for filmmakers and photographers who demand high performance and versatility from their equipment.
