Full details
The Sigma Cine 50mm T1.5 FF Lens is designed for professional cinematographers and videographers who demand high-resolution performance for 6K and 8K production environments. This high-speed prime lens offers exceptional optical clarity and a fast T1.5 aperture, making it ideal for low-light shooting and achieving cinematic bokeh; however, its robust metal construction and cinema-grade feature set result in a heavier footprint that may require a dedicated follow-focus rig for optimal handling.

What sensor size does this lens cover?

Troubleshooting
Image appears soft on high-resolution sensors.
Verify the back focus on your camera system and ensure the lens is securely locked into the EF mount.
Difficulty seeing focus markings at night.
Ensure the lens has been exposed to adequate light prior to the shoot, as the luminous paint requires charging to remain visible in the dark.
Focus ring feels stiff.
Check that the follow-focus gear is not pressed too tightly against the lens barrel, which can create excess friction.

Care Instructions
- Always store the lens in a protective, padded case when not in use.
- Use a professional lens cleaning cloth and solution for the front and rear elements.
- Ensure the mount interface is clean before attaching it to the camera body to prevent debris from entering the sensor chamber.
