Lens Overview — 7artisans 85mm T2.1

The 7Artisans 85mm T2.1 S35 Cine Lens is a manual-focus prime lens built for cinema and video production, designed around the Super 35 format. With a maximum aperture of T2.1, it offers solid light-gathering capability for controlled depth-of-field work and low-light shooting situations. As a prime lens sitting in the telephoto focal length range at 85mm, it is well-suited to portrait-style framing, interview setups, and medium-to-close coverage in narrative and documentary cinematography.

The lens is built for the Cinema and Video camera system category and carries a cine-style construction intended to integrate into professional production workflows. Weighing 900g, it has a substantial build that is typical of dedicated cine lenses. One of its practical strengths is broad mount compatibility — the lens is available in PL Mount, Sony E, Canon EF, and Micro Four Thirds configurations, making it adaptable across a wide range of camera platforms.

Image stabilization is not present, which is standard for a manual cine prime of this type. There is no autofocus; all focusing is manual, as expected in a cine lens context where focus pullers typically operate the focus ring. The lens has no listed filter thread size in the specifications.

Description — 7artisans 85mm T2.1

The 7Artisans 85mm T2.1 S35 Cine Lens is a manual focus prime built specifically for Cinema and Video production workflows, covering the Super 35 sensor format. Operating at a maximum aperture of T2.1, it provides reliable light transmission for scenes requiring depth-of-field separation or challenging lighting conditions. As an 85mm telephoto prime, it delivers a fixed perspective well-regarded for subject isolation and flattering framing in narrative, commercial, and documentary cinematography.

The lens is offered in four mount configurations — PL Mount, Sony E, Canon EF, and Micro Four Thirds — giving filmmakers flexibility across a broad range of cinema and mirrorless camera bodies. With a weight of 900g, it has the solid construction expected of a dedicated cine lens. Focus is entirely manual, with no autofocus system, placing full control in the hands of the operator or focus puller.
