Lens Overview — Dulens 43mm T2.4

The Dulens APO Mini Prime 43mm T2.4 is a manual-focus cinema prime lens designed for the PL Mount camera system. Built around a fixed 43mm focal length, it falls squarely in the standard focal length range, making it a versatile choice for narrative, documentary, and commercial cinematography. The lens opens to a maximum aperture of T2.4, providing solid low-light capability while delivering the kind of controlled depth-of-field control that cinematographers rely on for expressive visual storytelling.

Designed for Super 35 coverage, it pairs naturally with cinema cameras running Super 35 sensors. At 465g, the APO Mini Prime sits on the lighter end of the cinema lens spectrum, which can be a genuine advantage on smaller rigs, gimbals, or shoulder-mount setups where balance matters. The 72mm filter thread accommodates a wide range of industry-standard filters, from NDs to diffusion options.

Focus is entirely manual, in keeping with the expectations of a dedicated cinema lens workflow where follow-focus systems and lens control motors are the norm. There is no image stabilization, which is standard for a lens of this type. The PL Mount ensures broad compatibility across the cinema camera ecosystem.
