The Lomo Illumina MKII s35 lenses are a line of ultra-fast aperture cinema prime lenses designed for Super 35 format digital and film cameras. They are the product of a collaboration between the Russian LOMO optical design Bureau and the U.S.-based Luma Tech, Inc., aiming to provide high-quality, professional optics with a vintage character at a comparatively lower price point than some high-end competitors.

Key Features:

Ultra-Fast Aperture (T1.3): Allows shooting in low light and achieving a shallow depth of field for strong subject isolation (beautiful bokeh).
Designed for Super 35 (S35) Coverage: Compatible with a wide range of popular 35mm digital cinema cameras (e.g., ARRI, RED) and film cameras.
Vintage Character: Provides a unique, organic look with soft plasticity, pleasing color, and notable, yet artistic, lens flares.
Controlled Focus Breathing: Generally better controlled than predecessors, making focus pulls smoother and less distracting.
PL Mount and 95mm Front Diameter: Provides industry-standard compatibility with professional cinema equipment like matte boxes (though swing-away type is recommended due to the non-internal focus system).
Price/Performance: Offers high-level optical performance often compared to more expensive lenses, providing a more affordable professional option.
