[Super35/APS-C] I definitely recommend this lens. amazing for the price

[Imperial] Was able to snag this on sale for $299. great image quality, very secure on my BMPCC 4k. the lens feels very solid, no complaints after three months of use.

[FUJIFILM X] Very nice lens! It’s the perfect compliment to the BMPCC 4K. In the past I had used the Veydra 16mm on my Pocket 4K and really loved it. So, I figured that the similar focal length and faster aperture would be even better. I was right.

And of course, the build quality is the solid and heavy that you’d expect of a great cinema lens. The one potential downside of the lens is that it’s a bit soft wide open, but that’s not an issue for me. I’m glad I bought it.

[FUJIFILM X] Huge fan of these SLR Magic Microprimes.


I now have a full set: 12mm T/2.8, 17mm T/1.5, 21mm fT/1.6, 25mm T/1.5, 35mm T/1.5, 50mm T/1.5. They're the best bang for your buck cinema primes out there, in my opinion. I use them with a BMPCC4k and GH5 and I love them.


The only thing I wish they had was a bit more throw with the longer distances. There's very little travel from infinity to six feet, for example.


If your focus or aperture ring seems stiff at first, don't worry - it'll loosen up after some use.


I'm now starting a collection of the SLR Magic APO lenses for PL mount.

[Imperial] this is a great lens to use with the Sony FS5. Very clean and lightweight.

[10] An easy, affordable step up in the look of my images. Received great assistance from B&H through Chat to think through options, ideas, and trade-offs.

[Imperial] I am in love with the 1.5 t stop, the wonder skin tones, the long lens feel of the 75mm wonder. This lens leaves the blue hue of Rokino in the dust. The images are sharper and the consistency of images in the 75mm, 50mm and 35mm have been outstanding. I do have 1 complaint about the lens it needs a variable ND filter on it for most of the ext. Shots. The lens is much brighter than my zeiss, Rokinon, and Sony lenses. The low light shooting is truly stunning. Whatever quality issue others have complained about seem to be resolved. This is a Cine lens that Photographers will love and every rental house should offer. Get yours today.

[Imperial] This lens pairs perfectly with our other SLR Magic 35mm T 1.5 for a BMPCC4K. The two lenses work perfectly for our needs. I like the quality and look the 17mm produces for short film/run and gun. It's compact so it is easy to balance on a gimbal. The only question is which lens to get next... The SLR Magic 12mm or 50mm lens?

[T16] The DOF is beautiful on this lens when you can leave the aperture wide open. I've done some test footage but can't wait to apply this bad boy to my next projects!

[FUJIFILM X] I picked this up in a set of four SLR Magic MicroPrimes, and have not used it more than a week but so far I love its unique character. It is light-weight and easy to use on my A7SII hand-held, the focus ring is quick and works great even without follow-focus. The only thing is that when I first got this, I picked up in-person and tried it out with a Sony A7SIII in the store - and found the E-mount to be very resistant, hard to attach the lens all the way to click in. I returned it for a new one which attaches smoother but still there is more resistance than other SLR Magic MicroPrime lenses I got... I don't think this will affect the lens performance but just mentioning it.
