Lens Overview — Dulens 85mm T2.4

The Dulens APO Mini Prime 85mm T2.4 is a manual focus cinema prime lens built for the PL Mount camera system and designed to cover Super 35 sensors. With a fixed focal length of 85mm and a maximum aperture of T2.4, it sits comfortably in the telephoto range, making it a natural choice for portrait-style framings, close-up coverage, and medium telephoto compositions on set. Classified as a Cine type lens within the Cinema / Video camera system category, it is purpose-built for professional motion picture and video production workflows.

The lens features manual focus only, with no autofocus or image stabilization, keeping the optical design simple and predictable for focus pullers working in traditional cinema environments. At 455g, it is relatively compact and lightweight for a PL mount prime, which can be an advantage when rigging on gimbals, handheld rigs, or smaller cinema camera bodies. The 72mm filter thread provides a standardized front diameter for attaching ND, polarizing, or diffusion filters.

As a prime lens, it delivers a single, consistent focal length with no zoom mechanism, which typically supports more consistent optical rendering across a production. The Dulens APO Mini Prime 85mm T2.4 is a focused, practical tool for cinematographers who need a lightweight PL mount telephoto prime for Super 35 format cameras.
