The 18-35mm professional cinema lens (most notably represented by the Sigma Cine High-Speed Zoom) is a cornerstone of modern cinematography. Designed specifically for Super 35mm sensors, this lens bridges the gap between the convenience of a zoom and the optical performance of high-end prime lenses. It is often referred to as a “bag of primes” because it can effectively replace several fixed focal length lenses without sacrificing speed or image quality.
Key Features:
Constant T2 Aperture: Maintains a consistent light transmission and depth of field throughout the entire zoom range (18mm to 35mm).
High-Resolution Readiness: Optimized optical elements capable of resolving 6K to 8K resolution for high-end digital cinema cameras.
Cine-Standard Mechanics: Equipped with 0.8 Mod gears on the focus, iris, and zoom rings, allowing for seamless integration with follow-focus systems and lens motors.
Expanded Throw: Features a 180° focus rotation, providing a significantly larger “throw” than photo lenses for precise manual focus pulling.
Robust All-Metal Build: Constructed from 100% metal with a dust-proof and splash-proof design for use in demanding professional environments.
Standardized Physical Profile: Features a 95mm front diameter and standardized gear positions, making lens swaps fast and easy without readjusting accessories.
