CANON K-35 25-120MM ZOOM LENS

The Canon K-35 25-120mm T2.8 is a legendary vintage macro zoom lens that debuted in the early 1970s. Renowned for its unique optical character, it was the world’s first 35mm motion picture zoom to feature a macro function. In 1973, it earned Canon an Academy Award for its contribution to cinematography. It is frequently used today to provide a “filmic” look that takes the digital edge off modern sensors, perfectly complementing the famous K-35 prime lens set.

Key Features:

Fast T2.8 Constant Aperture: Maintains a bright, consistent exposure across the entire 5x zoom range, making it highly versatile for low-light environments.
Integrated Macro Function: Features a dedicated macro ring that allows for extreme close-up photography (as close as a few inches from the front element) without the need for diopters.
Vintage Aesthetic: Delivers the “K-35 look,” characterized by slightly lower contrast, warm skin tones, and a gentle roll-off between focus and bokeh.
Signature Optical Flares: Known for producing dramatic, textured flares—often in magenta and amber—due to its classic multi-layer coatings.
15-Blade Iris: Ensures the bokeh remains soft and circular even when the lens is stopped down, providing a pleasing aesthetic for out-of-focus highlights.
Super 35mm Coverage: Primarily designed for Super 35mm formats, though it can be used on Full Frame cameras when paired with an optical expander.
