Lens Overview — CHIOPT 35mm T2

The CHIOPT 35mm T2 Macro Prime Cinema Lens is a full-frame, PL mount prime designed for professional cinema and video production. Built around a fixed 35mm focal length and a maximum aperture of T2, this lens sits in the standard focal length range — versatile enough for a wide variety of narrative and documentary work, while also serving as a dedicated macro tool for close-up shots. The PL mount ensures compatibility with a broad range of professional cinema cameras within the cinema and video camera ecosystem.

Weighing in at 1,200g, the lens has a substantial, professional build that should feel at home on a properly rigged cinema setup. A 95mm filter thread accommodates large-format matte boxes and filter systems. Focus is entirely manual, which is standard practice on cinema sets where a dedicated focus puller controls the lens directly.

Image stabilization is listed as none, which again is typical for cinema prime lenses of this class. The full-frame image circle coverage means this lens can be used on larger sensor platforms without vignetting concerns. For cinematographers seeking a T2 prime at the 35mm focal length with PL mount compatibility, the CHIOPT offers a purpose-built cinema tool worth serious consideration.
