Lens Overview — SLR Magic 35mm f/1.2

The SLR Magic 35mm f/1.2 Cine Lens is a manual-focus prime lens designed for the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera system. With a maximum aperture of f/1.2, it offers strong light-gathering capability that makes it a practical choice for shooting in challenging lighting conditions or when a shallow depth of field is the creative goal. As a cine-type lens, it is built with videographers and filmmakers in mind, offering the kind of manual control workflow that professional video production demands.

The lens is classified as a standard focal length prime, sitting at 35mm, which suits a wide variety of shooting situations from everyday scenes to narrative filmmaking. Weighing in at just 300g, it strikes a balance between a solid build and portability, making it manageable for handheld use over extended periods. The 52mm filter thread opens the door to a broad selection of compatible filtration options.

With no autofocus and no image stabilization, this lens is unapologetically designed for deliberate, manual operation — a characteristic that aligns well with controlled cinematic shooting environments where precise focus pulling is standard practice.
