Description — SLR Magic 50mm 1.33x
The SLR Magic 50mm Anamorphot Cine Lens is built for Sony E mount cameras and designed to cover full-frame sensors, making it a purpose-built option for cinema and video shooters working on Sony's full-frame mirrorless platform. As a prime lens with a fixed 50mm focal length, it sits squarely in the standard focal length range, offering a perspective well-suited to narrative and documentary work. The f/2.8 maximum aperture gives shooters meaningful light-gathering capability for video production environments.
This is a manual focus lens with no autofocus support, consistent with professional cinema workflows where precise, repeatable focus control is prioritized. The 82mm filter thread provides excellent compatibility with industry-standard filtration. At 780g, the lens has a reassuringly solid build. Image stabilization is not included, so external support systems should be factored into any shooting setup.
