Lens Overview — Sirui 28-85mm T3.2 EF Mount

The Sirui Jupiter 28-85mm T3.2 is a manual-focus cinema zoom lens designed for the Super 35 format and available in PL Mount. Covering a focal length range from 28mm to 85mm, it sits squarely in the standard zoom category, making it a versatile workhorse for narrative and documentary cinematography. With a constant maximum aperture of T3.2, it delivers consistent exposure throughout the zoom range — a critical advantage when pulling focus or adjusting framing mid-shot without touching the iris.

At 2,540g, the lens has a solid, cinema-grade build that pairs naturally with professional rigging setups. The PL Mount configuration ensures broad compatibility with industry-standard cinema camera bodies built around the Super 35 sensor format. There is no image stabilization, which is expected for a lens of this class where cameras are typically rigged with dedicated stabilization systems.

Focus is entirely manual, in keeping with professional cinema production workflows where precise, repeatable focus pulls are the norm. The combination of a standard zoom range, constant T3.2 aperture, and Super 35 coverage makes the Jupiter 28-85mm a practical and dependable option for cinematographers seeking a single lens that can handle wide-to-short-telephoto coverage.

Description — Sirui 28-85mm T3.2 EF Mount

The Sirui Jupiter 28-85mm T3.2 is a manual-focus cinema zoom lens built for Super 35 format cameras and fitted with a PL Mount. The focal length range of 28mm to 85mm places it in the standard zoom category, covering wide-angle through short-telephoto perspectives — a range that suits a wide variety of cinematic applications from establishing shots to medium close-ups. The constant T3.2 maximum aperture is one of the lens's most practical attributes, maintaining consistent exposure across the entire zoom range without requiring iris compensation.

With a weight of 2,540g, this is a substantial piece of glass built to cinema-grade standards, designed for use on professionally rigged camera setups. Focus is fully manual, in keeping with the demands of scripted production where repeatable, precise focus marks are essential. There is no image stabilization onboard, which is consistent with cinema production practice.

The PL Mount configuration ensures the lens integrates directly with the cinema camera ecosystem built around that standard, and the Super 35 format coverage matches the sensor size found in many widely used cinema camera platforms.
