Product Information

Full details

This SLR Magic MicroPrime Cine 35mm T1.5 lens is ideal for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera users, particularly those shooting 4K video and seeking consistent cine-style operation. Its primary benefit is its cine-optimized design, offering smooth focus pulls and consistent gear placement for rig compatibility. A potential consideration is that its T1.5 aperture, while fast, may require specific handling in very bright conditions to achieve desired depth of field.

FAQs

What type of camera mount does this lens use?

This lens uses a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount, designed specifically for MFT camera bodies.

Can I use this lens for still photography?

Yes, while optimized for video, the lens can certainly be used for still photography, offering a versatile 35mm field of view and manual control.

What does 'T1.5' mean?

T1.5 refers to the actual light transmission of the lens, which is a more accurate measure for cinematographers than f-stop (which is a theoretical calculation). T1.5 indicates a very fast aperture, suitable for low light.

Is this lens autofocus capable?

No, this is a manual focus lens designed for precise manual control favored in cinematic applications.

Will the lens extend or change length when I focus?

No, this lens features an internal focus design, meaning its physical length remains constant during focusing.

How do the consistent gear placements benefit me?

Consistent gear placement on the focus and aperture rings allows for easy and quick setup when using follow focus systems and other camera accessories, as their positions are standardized across SLR Magic cine lenses.

What is the benefit of the de-clicked aperture ring?

A de-clicked aperture ring allows for smooth, stepless adjustments, which is essential for smooth exposure transitions during video recording without audible clicks.

Troubleshooting

Lens does not mount onto camera.

Ensure you are using a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera body. Verify that no debris is present on the camera mount or lens mount. Check if the lens is fully rotated into the locked position.

Image appears soft or out of focus.

Ensure the lens is properly focused using the manual focus ring. Check that the aperture is set appropriately for the desired depth of field and exposure. Confirm the lens is correctly seated on the camera body.

Aperture ring is stiff or does not move.

Gently try to move the aperture ring. If it remains stuck, do not force it. Dust or debris may be obstructing movement. Clean the exterior of the lens and check for any visible obstructions. Contact support if the issue persists.
