Lens Overview — P+S TECHNIK 135mm T3.5 S35

The P+S TECHNIK EVOLUTION 135mm T3.5 is a fixed focal length anamorphic cinema lens built for Super 35 sensor cameras. Mounted via a PL mount, this prime lens covers the Super 35 format and is designed squarely for the cinema and video production environment. At 135mm, it sits in telephoto territory, making it well suited for close-up shots, portraiture on set, and compressing backgrounds in narrative cinematography.

The maximum aperture of T3.5 is measured as a calibrated T-stop, meaning the light transmission figure is verified rather than theoretical — an important distinction when matching exposure across a lens set. Weighing in at 1.9kg, it carries the substantial build expected of a dedicated cinema optic, with mass that contributes to stability on professional cinema rigs and gimbals. The lens is classified as an anamorphic type, which shapes the image in the horizontal plane to deliver the distinctive widescreen look in post.

An 80mm filter thread provides compatibility with standard matte box and filter systems commonly found on cinema sets. Image stabilization is absent, as is autofocus, which aligns with the manual focus workflows standard in cinema production.

With a fixed 135mm telephoto focal length and a PL mount, it is designed to work with the industry-standard camera mount system found across professional cinema platforms. The lens is rated to cover the Super 35 format, aligning with the most prevalent sensor size in narrative and commercial filmmaking.

Its maximum aperture is T3.5, expressed as a T-stop — a light transmission measurement that ensures consistent exposure when working alongside other lenses in a matched set. Weighing 1.9kg, the lens carries the robust build quality expected of a dedicated cinema optic intended for use on professional rigs, cranes, and camera support systems. An 80mm filter thread provides straightforward integration with matte box systems and circular filter setups.

Focus is entirely manual, in keeping with the controlled, deliberate focus workflows that define professional cinema production. There is no image stabilization, so camera support is essential for stable image capture.
