Product Information

Full details

The TTArtisan 35mm T2.1 Dual-Bokeh Cine Lens is designed for independent filmmakers and cinematographers who require a versatile, high-quality prime lens for full-frame systems. Its standout feature is the innovative dual-bokeh mechanism, which allows users to toggle between two distinct optical signatures—Bubble and Soft—to manipulate the look of out-of-focus areas. While the lens offers exceptional low-light capabilities and professional cine-gearing, users should note that it is a fully manual lens, requiring precise manual focus and iris control during operation.

FAQs

Is this lens autofocus?

No, the TTArtisan 35mm T2.1 is a fully manual focus cine lens.

Can I use this on a crop sensor (APS-C) camera?

Yes, it is compatible with Sony E-mount cameras, though it will behave like a standard 50mm lens due to the crop factor.

What is the filter thread size?

The lens features an 82mm filter thread size.

Does this lens communicate EXIF data?

No, as a manual cine lens, it does not communicate metadata like aperture or focal length to the camera body.

How do I switch the bokeh style?

The lens includes a specific adjustment mechanism on the barrel to switch between the optical characteristics of the Bubble and Soft bokeh.

Are the focus and aperture rings geared?

Yes, both rings feature standard 0.8 Mod Gear Pitch for compatibility with professional follow-focus units.

Troubleshooting

Camera does not recognize the lens

Since this is a manual lens, ensure your camera setting for 'Release without lens' is enabled in the menu.

Image appears blurry even when focus is set

Verify that your diopter adjustment on the camera's EVF is calibrated to your vision or use focus peaking features on the camera screen.

Aperture changes are 'stepped' instead of smooth

Ensure the lens is set to its declicked cine-mode if the model offers a toggle, or confirm the ring is moving fluidly across the T-stop range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Switchable bokeh styles for creative versatility
  • Fast T2.1 aperture for low-light cinematography
  • Robust metal construction suitable for professional use
  • Industry-standard 0.8 Mod gears for precise focus control

Cons

  • Fully manual operation requires skill for focus pulling
  • No electronic communication with the camera body
  • Larger footprint compared to standard 35mm photography lenses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This lens is designed specifically for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras. Because it lacks electronic contacts, ensure your camera is set to 'Release without lens' in the menu settings to enable shutter actuation. To maintain the lens, store it in a cool, dry place and use a professional-grade lens blower or microfiber cloth to clean the glass surfaces. When mounting, align the index mark on the lens barrel with the camera mount and rotate until it clicks into place. Given its metal construction, treat the lens with care to prevent impact damage to the front element, and use the 82mm filter thread to add protective UV or ND filters for outdoor work.
