Lens Overview — Sigma 24mm T2.5

The Sigma 24mm T2.5 FF Classic Prime Cine Lens is a wide-angle cinema prime designed for full-frame coverage, offering a maximum aperture of T2.5 for solid low-light performance and a pleasingly shallow depth of field when needed. Built around a PL Mount, this lens slots naturally into professional cinema camera ecosystems that rely on that standard interface. As a manual focus lens, it puts direct control in the hands of focus pullers, making it well-suited to narrative and documentary productions where precise, repeatable focus marks matter.

Weighing in at 970g, it strikes a balance between substantiality and practicality — heavy enough to feel purpose-built for cinema use, but not so burdensome that it strains smaller rig setups. The full-frame image circle means it can cover the sensors found in larger-format cinema cameras without vignetting. As a prime lens at 24mm, it occupies a versatile wide-angle position useful for establishing shots, environmental storytelling, and tight interior spaces.

With no image stabilization, it's intended for use on stabilized rigs or in controlled shooting environments. This is a manual-only, prime-only tool optimized for deliberate, craft-focused filmmaking.

Key Features — Sigma 24mm T2.5

24mm Full-Frame Prime: Fixed wide-angle focal length covers full-frame sensors without vignetting, suitable for establishing shots, interiors, and environmental storytelling.

T2.5 Maximum Aperture: Solid light-gathering capability for a wide-angle cinema prime, allowing work in lower-light conditions and moderate depth-of-field control.

PL Mount: Industry-standard cinema lens mount compatible with professional camera systems from ARRI, RED, and other PL-compatible bodies.

Manual Focus Design: Smooth, precise focus ring built for repeatable focus pulls and accurate mark-setting in professional focus-pulling workflows.

Classic Optical Character: Part of Sigma's FF Classic Prime line, designed to render with a distinctive vintage-inspired look rather than clinical modern sharpness.

Consistent Front Diameter: Matched front diameter across the Classic Prime series allows shared lens accessories, matte boxes, and filter systems across the set.

Description — Sigma 24mm T2.5

The Sigma 24mm T2.5 FF Classic Prime Cine Lens is built specifically for professional cinema production, featuring a PL Mount and a full-frame image circle for compatibility with large-format cinema cameras. At 24mm, it provides a wide-angle perspective well-suited to environmental storytelling, architectural interiors, and expansive establishing shots. The T2.5 maximum aperture delivers reliable performance in lower-light conditions and enables meaningful depth-of-field separation when shooting wide open.

As a manual focus prime, it is designed to work within traditional cinema focus-pulling workflows, supporting precise and repeatable focus marks that are essential on professional sets. With a weight of 970g, the lens is built to cinematic standards without being unnecessarily cumbersome on a balanced rig. There is no image stabilization, so it is intended for use on stabilized rigs, tripods, or motion-control systems.

The prime configuration at 24mm ensures a consistent optical character across every shot, making it a reliable choice for cinematographers building a cohesive visual look.

Is autofocus available on this lens?+
No. This lens is manual focus only, with no autofocus capability. It is designed for use in professional cinema environments where a focus puller operates a follow focus system for precise, repeatable focus control.
How heavy is this lens?+
The lens weighs 970g. This is a typical weight for a professional cinema prime lens and is compatible with standard cinema rig setups, though it should be factored into rig balance and support system planning.
Does this lens have image stabilization?+
