Lens Overview — SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7

The SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7 is a manual focus prime lens built for APS-C mirrorless camera systems, offered in a C-Mount configuration. With a maximum aperture of f/1.7, this lens provides meaningful light-gathering capability that can be useful in lower-light shooting environments and for achieving subject separation through selective focus. As a prime lens with a 35mm focal length, it delivers a fixed perspective suited to a wide range of shooting scenarios including narrative, documentary, and run-and-gun video work.

The manual focus design puts direct, tactile control in the hands of the operator, which is often preferred in cinema and video production workflows where precise focus pulls are a priority. Weighing just 110g, the lens is notably compact and lightweight, making it a practical choice for smaller camera rigs, gimbals, or setups where minimizing overall payload is important. The 52mm filter thread allows for straightforward use of standard photographic and cinema filter systems.

The C-Mount connection is compatible with a range of mirrorless and cinema camera bodies, and the APS-C image circle coverage means it is optimized for that sensor format. Image stabilization is not included, so stable footage relies on in-body stabilization or rig support.

Description — SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7

The SLR Magic 35mm f/1.7 is a manual focus, C-Mount prime lens designed for APS-C mirrorless camera systems. Built as a prime in the standard focal length range, it offers a fixed 35mm perspective that works well across a variety of production styles. The f/1.7 maximum aperture provides solid light-gathering performance and the ability to work with a shallower depth of field when needed.

At just 110g, this lens is exceptionally light, making it a practical choice for operators working with compact rigs, handheld setups, or gimbals where weight is a real consideration. The 52mm filter thread is a widely supported size, giving shooters straightforward access to ND filters, polarizers, and other common cinema and photo filter systems. There is no image stabilization, so steady shots depend on the support system used with the camera.

The all-manual operation is well-suited to video and cinema workflows where the shooter maintains direct control over focus at all times.
