Description — Canon 135mm T2.2 PL
The Canon 135mm Sumire Prime is a manual focus cinema prime built for full frame sensor coverage. Offering a 135mm telephoto focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.5, it is designed for professional cinema and video production where precise focus control and consistent optical performance are priorities. The lens is available in PL Mount and Canon EF mount variants, broadening its compatibility across professional cinema cameras and larger format EF-mount bodies.
Weighing 1.3kg, the Sumire 135mm has the solid, professional-grade build expected of a cinema prime, and its 105mm filter thread accommodates large-format filtration tools frequently used in film and commercial production. With no image stabilization and manual focus only, this lens is oriented toward tripod, rig, or gimbal-mounted cinematography rather than handheld stills or hybrid shooting. The telephoto focal length makes it particularly effective for portrait framing, interview setups, and scenes where background compression contributes to the visual storytelling.
