[11.9 lb] The definition it's superbe. You can only compare this lens with Master Primes. And with an adaptor you can convert it from S35 to Large Format.

[11.9 lb] This allows for such an Interesting perspective. Obviously it's very slow, but in daylight, it's wonderful.

[11.9 lb] this lens is nothing short of awesome!
after one test shoot with this beast, im in love. the wife will be on couch and the lens in bed with me.
the color is amazing and i love the sharpness of this.
until now we have been on our xeen primes, which i love as well. but this is an entirely different level.
here is a link of some test footage we shot the day we got it!
it is a heavy lens, so be ready for that.

[7.1x (Servo)] I am not really able to compare it to the others in the set yet… but it’s a safe bet this is the weakest of the 4 or 3if FF only. Partially just from to the focal length not conveying the look as strong as the wider lenses but also it really works best stopped down a tad…as it’s rather soft wide open. However I am def still very impressed by the overall quality and quality of these… they don’t feel cheap just small … shockingly small. The 100mm in PL is smaller than my RF 50mm f1.2! Impressed by this but it comes at the cost of some obvious chromatic aberrations… still for the money this is great and 1.5x may seem to enough squeeze the bokeh and flares look very anamorphic to my eyes shockingly so.
If you order just one maybe the 45mm 65mm or if your on smaller than 17mm high S35 sensors… get the 35mm . This lens great but don’t make it your only option.

[1.5x (Manual)] We loved the quality and versatility and much higher than expected, when we bought it in the store we had a discount ;)

[11.9 lb] I work in documentary and TV, shooting on the FS7. I shoot a lot of b-roll and interviews on the fly, but am always looking for that extra edge to make my imagery look better than the next DP, and this lens (plus the 18-35mm sister lens) help me achieve that goal.


I can say that for interviews, this lens is irreplaceable. In doc scenarios, primes aren't really ideal, as you are stuck with one focal length in an environment where you need to work quickly and often are making changes. In my experience with this lens, I've found that sometimes I'll settle on 77mm or 86mm or 92mm (or whatever) for interviews, a point of flexibility that isn't possible with primes. The fact that it's T/2 throughout the range is a major bonus, as you are getting the best of both of the zoom/prime worlds.


Shooting outdoors in changing light conditions, being able to ride the aperture without the iris-stepping of a stills lens is also an irreplaceable quality.


Some people complain that this is just a stills lens with cine gears but in real world shooting conditions, I don't find that to be the case. For pixel peepers, maybe they are right, but you simply can't replace focus markings, smooth aperture, and cinema grade build quality.


Last note: I rented the PL and E-mount version of this lens. With the PL to E-mount adapter on the PL version, both lenses are the exact same length, so I'd recommend buying the PL version for resale value and general usability.

[f/2.9] Great lens for product shots if you have enough lights to compensate for the f/14 aperture. Totally worth it.

[7.1x (Servo)] Awesome!!!

[11.9 lb] So many of these adapters are cheap or don't allow the lens to focus properly when in place. This adapter works flawlessly and you don't have to worry about collimation; if your Arri B mount lens is properly collimated, it will remain so when this adapter is applied. Construction is solid and it can be put on a lens in a matter of seconds. Highly recommended.

[11.9 lb] I bought a couple of these and decided to remove the front glass and use them as coffee cups. I must say I've never had a cup of coffee that that gave me such razor sharp focus.
