Lens Overview — Whitepoint Optics 120mm PL Mount

The Whitepoint Optics TS70 120mm Cinema Lens is a manual-focus prime lens built for the demands of professional filmmaking. Designed around the PL Mount standard, it integrates seamlessly into established cinema camera ecosystems operating on the Cinema/Video camera system. With a fixed focal length of 120mm, this telephoto prime sits comfortably in the portrait-to-medium-telephoto range, making it a strong candidate for close-up work, interviews, and isolating subjects with controlled depth of field.

The lens opens to a maximum aperture of f/4, delivering consistent exposure in a cinema workflow. Its Super 35 image format coverage ensures compatibility with a wide range of digital cinema cameras using that sensor standard. Weighing in at 1.85kg, it carries the substantial build expected of a dedicated cinema optic.

A 105mm filter thread accommodates a range of filtration options for on-set use. The lens is manual focus only, with no autofocus or image stabilization — a deliberate choice aligned with cinema production practices where follow focus systems and focus pullers handle critical focus pulls. The TS70 120mm is a purposeful tool for cinematographers who prioritize precision and repeatability over automation.

Description — Whitepoint Optics 120mm PL Mount

The Whitepoint Optics TS70 120mm Cinema Lens is a dedicated Prime lens built for the Cinema/Video camera system using a PL Mount.

The lens has a maximum aperture of f/4, offering consistent and predictable exposure performance across a production day.
