Lens Overview — Canon 35mm T1.5
Key Features — Canon 35mm T1.5
PL Mount: Industry-standard cinema mount ensures compatibility with professional camera systems from ARRI, RED, Sony, and others.
T1.5 Maximum Aperture: Calibrated T-stop rating guarantees consistent, measurable light transmission across the full Sumire Prime lens set — critical for matched exposure on set.
35mm Focal Length: A staple cinema focal length well-suited to dialogue scenes, general coverage, and documentary work with a natural perspective.
Sumire Prime Series: Designed as part of a matched lens family, allowing cinematographers to mix focal lengths while maintaining consistent color rendition and optical characteristics across shots.
Characteristic Bokeh Rendering: Canon engineered the Sumire series to produce a subtly warm, painterly out-of-focus quality distinct from clinical, purely corrected cinema primes.
Cinema-Standard Focus Marks: Smooth, dampened manual focus ring with industry-standard 0.8 mod gear pitch supports focus pullers and follow focus systems.

Description — Canon 35mm T1.5
The Canon 35mm Sumire Prime T1.5 is a cinema prime lens built around the PL Mount, the industry-standard mount found on professional cinema cameras worldwide. With a maximum aperture of T1.5 — expressed as a calibrated T-stop rather than a geometric f-stop — this lens is rated for strong light transmission, which is a meaningful specification on productions where precise exposure control across a lens set is required. The 35mm focal length occupies a central place in cinema lens kits, offering a field of view that suits a broad range of shooting scenarios from dialogue coverage to environmental storytelling.
As part of the Sumire Prime series, this lens is intended to pair with other focal lengths in the same family, supporting consistent visual matching across a production. The PL Mount configuration ensures that this lens fits into professional rental and owner-operator workflows built around that mount standard.
