Is this lens compatible with full-frame cameras?+
Yes. The lens format is specified as full frame, meaning it is designed to cover a full-frame image circle. It can be used on both full-frame and smaller-sensor camera bodies depending on the mount selected.
Does this lens have autofocus?+
No. This lens is manual focus only. It is designed for cinema and video workflows where manual focus control and repeatable focus pulls are the standard approach.
What filter size does this lens use?+

How much does this lens weigh?+
The lens weighs 720g. This should be factored in when planning handheld rigs, gimbals, or other support systems for a shoot.
What does the T1.5 aperture rating mean compared to an f-stop?+
T-stops measure the actual light transmission through the lens, accounting for light loss from internal glass elements, while f-stops are calculated mathematically from focal length and aperture diameter. Cinema lenses are typically rated in T-stops because they give a more accurate representation of exposure, which is important when matching multiple lenses on a production. This lens is rated at T1.5.
