Product Information
Full details
The Sigma Cine 50-100mm T2 Zoom Lens is a professional-grade cinema optic designed for filmmakers and cinematographers working with Super 35mm formats who require high-resolution performance for 6K to 8K projects. It offers a constant T2 aperture for consistent exposure across the entire zoom range, making it a reliable workhorse for narrative and commercial production, though its manual-only design requires experienced focus pulling skills compared to autofocus-capable lenses.

FAQs
Is this lens compatible with full-frame cameras?
This lens is specifically designed for the Super 35mm format. Using it on a full-frame sensor may result in vignetting depending on the camera's crop mode settings.
Can I use autofocus with this lens?
No, this is a fully manual cinema lens and does not support autofocus or electronic communication with camera bodies for focus control.
What is the filter size for this lens?
The lens features an 82mm front filter thread for screw-on filters.
Is the iris de-clicked?
Yes, as a cinema lens, the iris is manual and smooth, allowing for precise exposure adjustments during a shot.
Why is the lens color-balanced to Sigma's CCI standard?
This ensures that footage captured with different Sigma Cine lenses will have matching colors, which greatly reduces the time spent on color correction in post-production.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty achieving smooth focus pulls
Ensure your follow focus motor is correctly calibrated to the 180-degree throw of the focus ring and check for proper gear alignment.
Matte box does not fit the lens
The lens requires a 95mm front diameter clamp-on matte box; verify your matte box adapter rings are compatible with this specific size.
Image appears soft on high-resolution sensors
Perform a back-focus adjustment on your camera body and ensure the lens mount is securely locked to eliminate flange distance issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your camera system utilizes a Super 35mm sensor format. The lens features a 95mm front diameter designed to fit directly into professional cinema matte boxes; if using a smaller setup, ensure you have the correct step-down rings for your filters. The 82mm filter thread allows for the use of standard circular polarizers or ND filters if not utilizing a matte box.
For care, store the lens in a temperature-controlled environment and always keep lens caps attached when not in use. Clean the optical elements only with professional-grade lens tissues and cleaning solution. Because the gears for focus and zoom are built into the barrel, ensure that your follow focus units are properly aligned to prevent premature gear wear.
