Description — Sigma 40mm T2.5
The Sigma 40mm T2.5 FF Classic Cine Prime Lens in PL Mount is a dedicated cinema prime built for professional production use. With a 40mm focal length in the standard range and a maximum aperture of T2.5, it delivers consistent, calibrated exposure performance suited to demanding cinema workflows. The lens is rated for full-frame coverage, accommodating the largest common cinema sensor formats.
Fully manual focus operation means it pairs naturally with follow focus systems and experienced focus pullers. The 82mm filter thread provides compatibility with a wide range of standard cinema filtration. Tipping the scales at 1,500g, the lens has the solid, substantial feel of a purpose-built cinema tool.
With no image stabilization, it is designed for use on properly supported rigs — tripods, gimbals, and motion control systems — where stability is managed at the equipment level rather than optically.
