The lens features a compact, lightweight form factor that suits handheld work as well as gimbal and drone cinematography. Its standard 0.8 mod geared rings for focus and aperture enable smooth integration with professional follow-focus systems.

Controls are manual for both focus and aperture, allowing precise, deliberate adjustments on set. The lens also uses durable all-metal construction to meet the reliability expectations of professional productions.
