Key benefits and visual character

Filmmakers get a natural wide-angle perspective from the 27mm focal length, suitable for narrative work, commercials, music videos and creative cinematography. The fast T2.8 aperture helps control depth of field and supports shooting in lower light.

In addition, the lens uses standard 0.8 mod geared rings for both focus and aperture, which means it integrates cleanly with professional follow-focus systems. All controls are manual, giving you direct, tactile control of focus and aperture.
