Product Information

Full details

The Sigma Cine 50-100mm T2 Zoom Lens is a professional-grade optic designed for cinematographers and filmmakers working in Super 35mm formats. It offers a consistent T2 aperture, making it an excellent choice for low-light environments and productions that demand 6K to 8K resolution support. While its heavy-duty metal construction ensures durability and precise mechanical performance, potential users should note that the lens is specifically optimized for Super 35mm sensors, which may cause vignetting on full-frame cameras.

FAQs

Does this lens have autofocus?

No, this is a fully manual cinema lens designed for precision focus pulling.

Can I use this on a full-frame camera?

The lens is designed for Super 35mm sensors; using it on full-frame cameras will likely result in significant vignetting.

What is the front diameter of the lens?

The lens features a standardized 95mm front diameter for matte box compatibility.

Is the T2 aperture constant?

Yes, the T2 aperture remains constant throughout the entire 50-100mm zoom range.

How do I maintain the lens mechanics?

Store in a dry, dust-free environment and have the lens professionally calibrated by an authorized service center if focus or zoom throws become loose.

Does this lens support metadata transmission?

Yes, as an EF mount lens, it communicates electronic metadata to compatible camera bodies.

Troubleshooting

Lens does not mount securely to the camera

Ensure the EF mount index pins are aligned and the camera locking mechanism is fully engaged.

Focus ring feels stiff or uneven

Check if any external follow-focus gears are overtightened or misaligned with the focus ring teeth.

Image appears dark in corners (vignetting)

Verify that the camera is set to Super 35mm crop mode, as this lens is not designed for full-frame sensors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure the Canon EF mount is properly seated on your camera or lens adapter. The lens includes a standard 95mm front, making it compatible with industry-standard professional clip-on or rod-mounted matte boxes. If using screw-on filters, the 82mm front thread provides a convenient option for circular polarizers or ND filters. For care, always store the lens in a protective case with silica gel packets to prevent moisture buildup. Regularly clean the front and rear elements with high-quality lens tissue and cleaning fluid, and ensure the lens mount remains free of debris to maintain a secure electrical and physical connection to your camera body.
