Lens Overview — SLR Magic 25mm T2.1

The SLR Magic APO HyperPrime 25mm T2.1 Cine is a manual-focus prime lens built for professional cinema and video production. Mounted on the industry-standard PL Mount, it integrates seamlessly into high-end cinema camera rigs and follow-focus systems. With a maximum aperture of T2.1, it offers solid light-gathering capability for a wide range of shooting conditions.

The 25mm focal length places it firmly in the standard range, making it a versatile option for narrative work, documentary, and commercial production. Designed for the Super 35 format, it is well-matched to the sensor sizes common across professional cinema cameras. The 82mm front filter thread accommodates common matte boxes and filter systems used on professional sets.

At 1,500g, the lens has a substantial, cinema-grade build that communicates durability and confidence in demanding production environments. Focus is entirely manual, which is standard and expected in professional cine lens workflows, allowing precise, repeatable pulls via follow-focus rigs. With no image stabilization — again, typical for this lens category — the APO HyperPrime 25mm T2.1 is a focused, purposeful tool for cinematographers working within a PL-mount ecosystem.
