Lens Overview — Whitepoint Optics 84mm T2.8

The Whitepoint Optics High-Speed 84mm T2.8 Prime Lens is a dedicated cinema prime built for full-frame coverage on PL mount camera systems. Operating at a maximum aperture of T2.8, this lens sits in the standard focal length range, making it a versatile choice for a variety of cinematic shooting scenarios from portraiture to general narrative work. Designed exclusively for the Cinema/Video camera system, it mounts via the industry-standard PL Mount, ensuring broad compatibility with professional cinema camera bodies.

As a prime lens, it delivers a fixed 84mm focal length with no zoom mechanism, which typically supports optical consistency and a more compact rendering path. Focus is entirely manual, as expected of a dedicated cinema lens, allowing focus pullers to work with precision and repeatability. The lens is a substantial piece of glass, weighing in at 1,950.5g, which reflects its professional build intended for rigged cinema setups and follow-focus systems.

There is no image stabilization, consistent with manual cinema lens design philosophy where stabilization is typically handled at the camera or rig level. This lens covers a full-frame sensor format, making it suitable for large-format and full-frame cinema cameras.
