Key Features and BenefitsFeatureBenefit
Interchangeable Lens Mount System (IMS)Offers exceptional versatility, allowing use on a wide array of cameras (cine and still) with different mounts (PL, EF, F, Micro 4/3, E-mount) by simply swapping the mount.
Full-Frame 35mm CoverageEnsures compatibility with large sensor cameras (like full-frame DSLRs and cinema cameras) and is “future-proof” for sensors larger than Super 35.
Cine-Style Housing and MechanicsFeatures a robust build, standardized focus and iris gear positions, and a consistent front diameter ($114 \text{ mm}$ for most), simplifying on-set work with follow focus units and matte boxes.
14-Blade IrisCreates a nearly perfectly round aperture, resulting in smooth, pleasing out-of-focus areas (bokeh) and attractive highlight rendition.
Long Focus Rotation ($\sim300^{\circ}$)Allows for extremely precise and repeatable focus pulling, essential for professional cinematography.
T* Anti-Reflex CoatingProvides excellent flare suppression and high contrast, contributing to sharp, punchy images with great color rendition.
Color MatchedAll lenses in the series are color-matched to ensure consistency when swapping focal lengths, simplifying color grading in post-production.
