Product Information
Full details
The Sigma Cine 14mm T2 FF Prime Lens is engineered for professional cinematographers and production crews who require uncompromising optical performance for large-format and 8K cinema camera systems. Its primary benefit is the integration of Cooke Optics /i Technology, which enables the recording of vital lens metadata to simplify complex post-production workflows. While it offers industry-leading precision and durability, users should be aware that the lens is a manual focus-only prime, requiring a dedicated focus puller or precise calibration in fast-paced environments.

FAQs
Does this lens support autofocus?
No, the Sigma Cine 14mm T2 is a strictly manual focus lens designed for professional cinema workflows.
Can I use this on a Super35 sensor camera?
Yes, it is compatible with Super35 sensors, though the effective focal length will appear more cropped due to the smaller sensor size.
Is the aperture ring clicked or de-clicked?
As a cinema lens, it features a smooth, de-clicked iris ring for seamless exposure transitions.
What is the benefit of the /i Technology?
It records lens data like aperture, focus distance, and focal length for each frame, which is essential for VFX artists and match-moving in post-production.
Does this lens cover full-frame sensors?
Yes, this lens is designed specifically for full-frame and large-format sensors.
Troubleshooting
Lens metadata not displaying on camera monitor
Verify that the PL-i mount pins are clean and fully seated against the camera body contacts, and check that the camera firmware is updated to support /i Technology.
Focus pull feels stiff or uneven
Check the gear alignment with your follow-focus unit to ensure there is no binding or excessive pressure being applied to the focus ring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Maintenance Tips:
- Always cap the front and rear elements when not in use.
