Lens Overview — SLR Magic 25mm Wide-Angle

The SLR Magic Cine 25mm is a manual-focus prime lens designed for the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera system. Built with cine shooters in mind, it sits in the wide-angle focal length range and offers a fast maximum aperture of f/1.4, making it a capable option for low-light shooting and subject separation. As a fully manual lens with no autofocus, it suits cinematographers and deliberate still photographers who prefer full control over focus pulling.

The lens features a 52mm filter thread, giving users access to a wide range of readily available filter options. Weighing in at 520g, it has a solid, substantial feel that is typical of cine-style glass. With no image stabilization on board, shooters will need to rely on in-body stabilization from their camera body or a stabilized rig.

The Micro Four Thirds mount means broad compatibility across a wide range of mirrorless bodies from multiple manufacturers. The cine classification suggests a design philosophy oriented around smooth, precise manual operation for video production workflows, and the wide-angle 25mm focal length makes it a versatile choice for environmental storytelling, documentary work, and narrative filmmaking on MFT systems.
