Product Information

Full details

The SIRUI Jupiter 35mm T2 Full-frame Macro Cine Lens is designed for professional filmmakers and videographers seeking exceptional detail and control in their close-up and macro shots. Its key benefit lies in its ability to capture the micro-world with incredible sharpness and a pleasing depth of field, supported by a consistent T2 aperture for low-light performance. A potential caveat for some users might be its manual focus design, requiring precise control during dynamic shooting scenarios.

FAQs

What is the minimum focus distance of the SIRUI Jupiter 35mm T2 lens?

The minimum focus distance is 0.24 meters (0.79 feet), allowing for very close-up macro shots.

Can this lens be used on still photography cameras?

The lens features a PL Mount, which is standard for cinema cameras. It can be used on still photography cameras if they have a compatible PL mount or if an appropriate PL to camera mount adapter is used.

What does 'T2' aperture mean?

T2 refers to the actual amount of light transmitted through the lens, which is crucial for consistent exposure in video production, especially in low light conditions. It is equivalent to an F2 aperture but measured for light transmission.

How does focus breathing affect video?

Focus breathing is the change in field of view when adjusting focus. Minimal focus breathing, as featured in this lens, prevents distracting shifts in the image composition during focus pulls, maintaining a smoother viewing experience.

Is this lens suitable for 8K video production?

Yes, the lens is designed and coated to support 8K resolution, providing high sharpness, excellent color reproduction, and distortion control suitable for high-end productions.

What is the filter thread size?

The lens has an M92x0.75 filter thread size.

How many aperture blades does the lens have?

The lens features 11 aperture blades, contributing to a smooth and rounded bokeh.

Troubleshooting

Lens not locking onto the camera mount.

Ensure the camera body has a PL mount. Check for any obstructions on the mount of both the camera and the lens. Verify you are using the correct mounting procedure for your camera.

Focus is not sharp.

Ensure the lens is set to the correct minimum focus distance or beyond. Manually adjust the focus ring carefully. Check that the aperture is not stopped down excessively for macro work if shallow depth of field is desired.

Image appears soft or hazy.

Check the lens elements for smudges or dust; clean with a proper lens cleaning kit. Ensure the lens cap is fully removed. Verify you are shooting at an appropriate aperture for macro work; very small apertures can sometimes introduce diffraction.

Focus breathing is noticeable.

While engineered to minimize breathing, some slight shift may occur. Practice smooth focus pulls and consider the T2 aperture for shallower depth of field, which naturally masks minor breathing effects.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional sharpness, especially in the center, with a pleasing fall-off towards the edges.
  • Outstanding macro capabilities with a very close minimum focus distance of 0.24m.
  • Consistent T2 aperture and low-light performance suitable for various shooting conditions.
  • Well-controlled focus breathing for smooth cinematic focus transitions.
  • Robust build quality designed for professional filmmaking demands.
  • Consistent design across the Jupiter series for efficient workflow.

Cons

  • Manual focus only, which may require more practice for fast-paced shoots.
  • PL Mount is specific to cinema cameras, limiting direct compatibility with stills cameras without an adapter.
  • Can be heavier than standard stills lenses due to its cine-grade construction.
  • Sharpness fall-off at edges, while described as 'pleasing', might not be ideal for applications requiring edge-to-edge sharpness at macro distances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your camera body is equipped with a PL Mount or a compatible adapter.
  2. Carefully attach the lens to the camera mount, aligning the mounting marks.
  3. Gently rotate the lens until it locks securely into place.
  4. Adjust focus and aperture using the dedicated manual rings on the lens.

Compatibility:

  • Mount: PL Mount. Compatible with cinema cameras featuring a PL Mount.
  • Sensor Size: Full-frame sensors.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free lens cloth to clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, never directly on the lens.
  • Storage: Store the lens in its protective case in a cool, dry environment. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity.
  • Handling: Always handle the lens with care, avoiding unnecessary impact. Use lens caps when not in use to protect the front and rear elements.
