OPTEX 5.5MM T2 SINGLE LENS

The Optex 5.5mm T2 is a legendary ultra-wide-angle prime lens specifically engineered for the Super 16mm (S16) format. Unlike fisheye lenses, it features a sophisticated rectilinear design, meaning straight lines in the real world remain straight in your image, making it a favorite for architectural and tight interior cinematography.

Key Features:

Rectilinear Optical Design: Captures an ultra-wide field of view while maintaining straight lines and minimal barrel distortion.
Fast T2 Aperture: Offers superior low-light capabilities and creative control over depth of field.
Super 16mm Coverage: Specifically optimized for the S16 image circle, ensuring edge-to-edge performance on modern digital sensors like the Arri Alexa (in S16 mode) or Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.
Internal Focusing Mechanism: Ensures the physical length of the lens remains constant, preventing air or dust from being sucked in and keeping the front element stable.
Integrated Cine Gearing: Features industry-standard 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears for seamless integration with follow-focus systems and motors.
Compact & Lightweight: Weighing approximately 0.9kg – 1kg, it is ideal for handheld rigs, gimbals, and Steadicam work.
Vintage Aesthetic: Delivers unique “rainbow” flares and a gentle highlight roll-off that pairs beautifully with Zeiss Super Speed sets.
