This lens is designed for Super35 (S35) sensors. It may cover larger sensors but might exhibit vignetting or not cover the full frame.
This is a manual cinema lens and does not have autofocus capabilities. It is designed for manual focus or servo-controlled focus.
The 16-blade aperture creates very smooth and pleasing circular bokeh, which is desirable for subject isolation and creating aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus areas.
The lens is offered in either PL or EF mount versions. You must choose the appropriate mount when purchasing, as mounts are not typically interchangeable by the end-user.
Focus breathing is the apparent change in focal length when adjusting focus. This lens features advanced optical design to minimize focus breathing, ensuring smoother focus pulls.
Use a soft lens brush for dust and a microfiber cloth with a dedicated lens cleaning solution for smudges. Avoid touching the glass directly.
The luminous paint on the focus, zoom, and aperture markings allows for better visibility and easier operation in low-light or dark shooting environments.
Ensure the lens is securely mounted to the camera. Check if manual focus is engaged and not overridden by a servo system. Clean the lens contacts if applicable for electronic mounts.
Verify that the lens is clean and that focus is accurately set. Confirm that the lens is fully seated on the camera mount. Check if the lens is being used within its intended S35 coverage area.
If using servo control, check all cable connections and power for the servo unit. Ensure manual focus/iris/zoom rings are not locked if servo control is active. For non-servo operation, check that the iris is not set to its smallest aperture if it is mechanically controlled.
Ensure the aperture is set to T2.9, its widest setting. Check your camera's ISO and shutter speed settings, as these also significantly impact low-light capability.
Setup: This lens is available in PL and EF mount options. Ensure you select the correct mount for your camera system. For PL mount cameras, the lens typically mounts directly. For EF mount cameras, align the lens mount with the camera's mount and twist to lock. For servo operation, follow the specific instructions for your chosen servo control system.
Compatibility: The lens is designed for Super35 (S35) sensors. While it may cover larger sensors partially or with vignetting, its optimal performance is achieved on S35 format cameras. It is compatible with cameras featuring standard PL or EF lens mounts.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the lens elements clean. Use a soft lens brush to remove dust and a microfiber cloth with a lens cleaning solution for smudges. Avoid touching the lens elements with your fingers. Store the lens in its protective case when not in use, away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Ensure lens caps are securely fastened.
