Product Information

Full details

The TTArtisan 35mm T2.1 Dual Bokeh Cine Lens is designed for filmmakers and videographers seeking distinctive cinematic visuals. Its key benefit is the dual-mode bokeh rendering, allowing for creative control over background aesthetics. A potential caveat is the specific L-Mount compatibility, which may require an adapter for other camera systems. This full-frame lens features a fast T2.1 aperture for excellent low-light performance and depth of field control, with two distinct bokeh styles: Bubble and Soft, easily switched via a lens dial. Its robust all-metal construction includes professional cinema features like an 82mm filter thread and 0.8 Mod gear pitch for follow focus systems.

FAQs

What is 'Dual Bokeh'?

Dual Bokeh refers to the lens's ability to produce two distinct styles of background blur: a dramatic 'Bubble' effect or a smooth, 'Soft' aesthetic. This is controlled via a dedicated dial on the lens.

Is this lens suitable for low-light shooting?

Yes, the fast T2.1 aperture is excellent for low-light conditions, allowing for brighter images and shallower depth of field with less need for artificial lighting.

What does 'declicked aperture' mean for video?

A declicked aperture allows for smooth, silent, and stepless adjustments to exposure during recording, which is crucial for cinematic footage without distracting clicks or jumps in brightness.

Can I use this lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor?

Yes, but the image will be cropped due to the APS-C sensor size. The effective focal length will be different, and the full-frame coverage will not be utilized.

Does the lens have autofocus capabilities?

This is a manual focus cine lens. Autofocus is not a feature; all focusing is done manually using the geared focus ring.

What is the purpose of the 0.8 Mod gear pitch?

The 0.8 Mod gear pitch is a standard for cinema lenses and allows for precise and repeatable focus and aperture control when used with professional follow focus systems.

How do I switch between Bubble and Soft bokeh modes?

There is a dedicated dial on the lens barrel. Rotate this dial to select between the 'Bubble' and 'Soft' bokeh rendering styles.

Troubleshooting

Lens is not recognized by the camera.

Ensure the lens is correctly mounted and locked onto the camera's L-Mount. If using an adapter, verify the adapter's compatibility and proper installation.

Image appears soft or out of focus.

Check that the focus ring is set correctly for the desired distance. Ensure the lens is focused on the subject. For video, practice smooth focus pulls with the geared ring.

Bokeh effect not as expected.

Ensure the correct bokeh mode (Bubble or Soft) is selected using the lens dial. The effect's prominence is also influenced by aperture and subject-to-background distance.

Difficulty with follow focus system.

Confirm the 0.8 Mod gear pitch on the lens rings matches your follow focus system's gear. Ensure the follow focus is securely attached and calibrated to the lens.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile dual bokeh system for creative storytelling.
  • Excellent low-light capability due to the fast T2.1 aperture.
  • Full-frame coverage for broad compatibility with modern cameras.
  • Professional cinema features like declicked aperture and gear pitch.
  • Durable and robust all-metal construction.

Cons

  • Specific L-Mount may require adapters for non-L-Mount cameras.
  • Dual bokeh mechanism adds a slight complexity for users preferring simplicity.
  • Focus throw may be longer than some electronic cine lenses, requiring practice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Mount the lens directly onto an L-Mount camera body. Ensure the lens is properly seated and locked into place by rotating it until it clicks. For cameras with different mounts, an appropriate L-Mount adapter will be required.

Compatibility:

This lens is designed for cameras with an L-Mount. It covers a full-frame image circle. Compatibility with APS-C or Super 35mm sensors will result in a cropped image.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, a lens cleaning solution can be applied sparingly to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
  • Storage: Store the lens in its protective cap or a lens pouch in a cool, dry environment when not in use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity.
  • Handling: Always handle the lens by its body and avoid touching the glass surfaces. The metal construction is durable, but care should still be taken to avoid impacts.
