About Schneider Cine-Xenar III 25mm Lens with PL-Mount (FT), T2.2 to 16 Aperture Range, Super 35mm Frame, 11" Close Focus, 18-Blade Iris

Enhance your cinematic vision with the Schneider Optics Cine-Xenar III 25mm Lens, a high-quality, professional-grade lens engineered for digital cinematography with a PL mount and focus scale measured in feet. This lens is meticulously designed to cover a Super 35mm frame, ensuring that it captures a wide field of view with exceptional clarity and depth, making it an indispensable tool for filmmakers and videographers seeking to elevate their visual storytelling.

The Cine-Xenar III 25mm lens is renowned for its reliable performance and durable construction, sharing identical optical and mechanical characteristics with other lenses in the series for consistent quality and ease of interchangeability during shoots. Its telecentric imaging design ensures that light rays are directed straight onto the camera sensor, enhancing image sharpness and minimizing vignetting.

With a versatile wide-angle focal length of 25mm, this lens is adept at creating immersive scenes and dramatic perspectives. The maximum aperture of T2.2 allows for a shallow depth of field, enabling filmmakers to isolate subjects from the background and perform exceptionally in low-light conditions, capturing crisp, clear images even in the most challenging lighting scenarios.

The manual focus ring of the Cine-Xenar III 25mm lens provides tactile control and rotates through a substantial 270 degrees, offering precise focus adjustments and smooth operation. The consistent positioning of focus and iris gears across the Cine-Xenar III series simplifies the use of follow focus systems and lens accessories, making it a versatile choice for professional film production.

Optical coating technologies have been applied to each lens element to enhance light transmission and contrast, delivering images with rich colors and deep blacks. Additionally, the 18-blade iris contributes to a natural and pleasing bokeh, rendering out-of-focus areas with a soft, aesthetically pleasing quality that adds depth and dimension to your shots.

Whether you're shooting a feature film, commercial, or any other professional video project, the Schneider Optics Cine-Xenar III 25mm Lens for PL Mount is a reliable, high-performance choice that will help you capture your creative vision with precision and artistry.
