Description — SLR Magic 35mm T1.5
The SLR Magic 35mm T1.5 MicroPrime Cine is a manual-focus prime lens built for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, with a full-frame image circle and a cine-type construction tailored for professional video production. The T1.5 maximum aperture ensures strong light transmission, expressed in the T-stop system preferred by cinematographers for its accuracy in measuring actual light passing through the lens. At a fixed 35mm focal length, it occupies a versatile standard-wide position in any cine lens kit.
The lens features an 82mm front filter thread, making it compatible with a wide variety of professional matte boxes and filter systems commonly used on set. Weighing 590g, it strikes a practical balance between build quality and portability for handheld and rig-based shooting. Focus is entirely manual, in keeping with its cine orientation, where precise, repeatable focus pulls are essential.
There is no image stabilization, so external support is recommended for smooth handheld operation. Overall, this lens is engineered for cinematographers working within the Sony E-mount ecosystem who prioritize a fast, lightweight, and purpose-built cine prime at the 35mm focal length.
