Lens OverviewSigma 20mm T2.5

The Sigma 20mm T2.5 Cine Lens is a prime cinema lens designed for full-frame sensor coverage, making it a solid wide-angle option for professional cinematographers working on full-frame camera systems. Mounted in the industry-standard PL Mount configuration, this lens integrates naturally into professional cinema camera rigs and follow-focus setups. At T2.5, it offers a respectable maximum aperture for a wide-angle cine prime, allowing for usable light gathering in a variety of production environments.

The lens is entirely manual focus, which is standard practice in professional cinema production where focus pullers operate dedicated follow-focus systems. With a 95mm front diameter and filter thread, it accommodates a wide range of matte boxes and front-mounted filtration solutions commonly used on set. Weighing in at 1300g, it carries some heft appropriate for a full-frame cine prime of this specification.

There is no image stabilization, which is typical for cinema lenses used on stabilized rigs. The 20mm focal length places it firmly in wide-angle territory, well-suited for establishing shots, environmental storytelling, and immersive perspectives in narrative and documentary filmmaking.

With no image stabilization, it is best paired with stabilized rigs or camera support systems. The 20mm focal length sits in wide-angle territory, making it a practical choice for wide establishing shots and immersive environmental cinematography on productions using PL-mount cinema cameras.
