Lens Overview — Sirui 28-85mm T3.2 Macro Cine Zoom

The Sirui Jupiter 28-85mm T3.2 Macro Cine Zoom Lens in PL Mount is a cinema-grade zoom designed for the Super 35 format, covering a versatile focal length range from 28mm to 85mm. Built for the Cinema and Video camera system, this lens carries a maximum aperture of T3.2 — a consistent T-stop rating that ensures predictable exposure across the zoom range, a key advantage in professional production environments. Weighing in at 2,500g, the Jupiter is a substantial piece of glass engineered for use on cinema rigs where build quality and optical consistency matter.

The lens features a 95mm front filter thread, accommodating large-format matte boxes and filter systems commonly found on professional sets. Focus is fully manual, which aligns with standard cinema workflow practice and provides the precise, repeatable control that focus pullers rely on. The PL Mount connection ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of cinema cameras that accept the industry-standard PL system.

With no image stabilization — typical of a lens intended for rigged, supported cinema setups — the Jupiter 28-85mm T3.2 is purpose-built for controlled production environments where stability comes from the rig, not the optics.
