OPTEX 5.5mm SINGLE

Words of the owner:
This lens rocks. Pairs really well with the super speeds and has a cool rainbow flare.
The Optex 5.5mm was used quite a bit on “Poor Things.” I’m also selling the 8mm which is a great pair to this one. I used this lens on both my Canon C70 and Arri 416. Happy to share that footage if you reach out. It’s a fantastic versatile wide angle with far superior contrast/rendering at T/2 than the Zeiss or Elite alternatives. It’s wider than the 6mm Zeiss Ultra16! Again, this 5.5mm lens is a better match to the super speeds with it’s rainbow flares. The Optex 5.5mm features a rectilinear design with minimal barrel distortion compared to a fisheye wide angle lens. With a fast T2 aperture, a 15 inch close focus, along with integrated 0.8 focus & iris gears.
I had the lens collimated in Michigan a few months ago and I’m happy to put you in touch with that lens tech as well. Front and back caps are included. This lens was used so I can’t call it “mint” but it’s darn close. Some wear marks on the back of the housing, but obviously no issues with the glass: no scratches, no fungus, no haze, no separation, there is micro dust but honestly it’s exceptionally little for a lens of this age. You really have to search to see any micro dust. It’s fantastic.
