Lens Overview — SLR Magic 17mm T1.5

The SLR Magic 17mm T1.5 MicroPrime Cine Lens is a wide-angle prime designed for mirrorless cameras, specifically built around the Micro Four Thirds mount. With a fixed 17mm focal length and a maximum aperture of T1.5, this lens is geared toward filmmakers and video shooters who need strong light-gathering capability in a cine-style body. The T1.5 rating reflects a true transmission measurement, making it a reliable spec for exposure consistency across a cine lens set.

As a manual focus lens with no autofocus capability, it places full control in the hands of the operator — a deliberate design choice for narrative and documentary cinematography where precise, repeatable focus pulls are essential. The lens covers the Micro Four Thirds format and is categorized as a wide-angle prime, lending itself well to environmental shots, interiors, and scenes where a broader field of view is needed. Weighing 580g and accepting 82mm front filters, it has a substantial but manageable build suited to rigged mirrorless setups.

Image stabilization is not included, so shooters will need to rely on in-body stabilization or external rigging for smooth handheld work.
