The SLR Magic Cine 35mm f/1.2 Lens for Sony E-Mount supports cine-style shooting on Sony E-Mount cameras. It weighs in at around a pound and covers full-frame sensors with a fast f/1.2 maximum aperture for shallow depth of field. It features geared focus and aperture rings, a clickless iris that allows smooth aperture pulls, and a 13-bladed iris for a rounded aperture and a smooth bokeh when stopped down.
 
Cine-Ready Optics
The lens covers full-frame sensors with a 35mm focal length. The fast f/1.2 maximum aperture provides excellent low-light performance and a shallow depth of field. The 13-blade iris delivers a rounded aperture for pleasing bokeh.
Smooth Adjustment
The clickless iris allows you to smoothly adjust your exposure during the shot. Built-in iris and focus gears follow industry standards, allowing you to work with optional follow focus units and lens gear motors.
Versatile Applications
This lens is suitable for portrait, interiors, architectural, and landscape cinematography and photography. The front of the lens does not rotate as you focus; this allows you to use optional polarizing filters or accessories such as clip-on matte boxes. It incorporates a 52mm filter thread diameter for using a variety of readily available optional lens accessories.

SLR Magic Cine 35mm f/1.2 FE Reviews

Better than expected

By Jason
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-12-04

Fast, sharp, low spherical distortion, a bit of character to the bokeh. I didn't have much expectation at this price point. I was surprised at how sharp this was even wide open 1.2. I actually thought it would have more vintage character than it does, but that's not really an issue.

Beautiful lens

It is very beautiful lens. Focus is very cinematic. Easy to use for Sony a7iii. I strongly recommend it for videographers & photographers.

Wow. Holy moly this lens smokes. Beautiful bokeh, fast in low light and cheap. If you don't mind manual focus stop thinking about it and just buy it now

Well Made but Soft Wide Open

I use this lens with my a7R3A and it takes some used to since it's a manual lens with no electronic in it. If you were looking for modern sharp lens, this isn't it. This lens is good for video and artistic still photography. The vignette at f1.2 is atrocious. In my case, I don't mind for the kind of images I create.

Outstanding!

I ordered the slr magic 35mm lens and absolutely LOVE the image output! This lens is great for cinematic shooting, although the edges can get a bit blurry adding a bit of a vignette effect, I actually love the way it makes my shots look! Five star review! Definitely will be purchasing the other lenses!

Shallow Depth & Colors

By Chaudhry
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-11-13

This lens creates beautiful videos with shallow depth at 1.2, though it's soft at wide aperture but it's worth it. The build and focus ring is solid. Those who love manual focus lens and shallow depth with beautiful colors straight outta it, that's for you! Do that think, just buy it.

What is the difference between this lens and the SLR Magic Microprime Cine 35mm? Both are seemingly marketed as “Cine” lenses and I can’t figure out the differences between the two.

This lens will be able to cover a Full Frame Sony E-Mount camera, like the A7SII. There should be no vignetting or distortion.

Asked by: Marlon
Ambos lentes son similares en rendimiento y satisfacción al cliente. Para la mejor experiencia a largo plazo, me inclino por el Rokinon. Es más grande y más convencional. Por otro lado, si crees que te volverás anamórpico, la lente SLR Magic y el anamórfico son el camino a seguir.

can I use it in a Sony Nex-6?
Asked by: Gustavo
Yes, the NEX-6 is e-mount and this is a fully manual e-mount lens. You'll only be using the inner "sweet spot" of the image circle, since it's a full frame lens, but even so, I'd try one before you buy if at all possible to makes sure the image quality is up to your expectations.

How is this lens for Astrophotography? Does it have bad coma near the corners?
Asked by: Paul
I haven't looked at coma specifically, but distortion in general is pretty bad away from the center (on my copy, anyway, using it with an a7r3). It seems to suffer from astigmatism, You'd have to stop it down so much to get reasonable off-center sharpness that there would be no advantage to it being an f/1.2 lens.

I understand that this does not have AF, but do the manual focus indicators on the A7sII (yellow, red, white indicators) work to help you with focus or are you left to eyeballing it completely?

AF assist and focus peaking are a camera feature and they will work with this lens
