Choosing a smaller size over bulk and weight, the SLR Magic MicroPrime Cine 18mm Lens covers full-frame sensors and features a Sony E-mount. Suitable for 4K origination, each lens in the MicroPrime Cine series features similar size and weight with consistent lens gear positions for rapid lens changes and easier rebalancing when changing lenses on a gimbal.
The lens incorporates a 7-blade iris that provides a pleasing bokeh with natural-looking out-of-focus highlights. The odd number of iris blades also reduces the appearance of flare off the blades. The lens has an internal focus design so the front of the lens doesn't rotate when focusing, and it has an 85mm outer diameter for compatibility with a wide number of clip-on matte boxes.

SLR Magic MicroPrime Cine 18mm T2.8 Reviews
Too tight
The lens is extremely tight on the camera mount to the point I thought it would be stuck on my camera. Lens seems to work fine but not at the risk of potentially damaging my camera
GREAT 18mm option for the FX6
I was a bit worried from reading other reviews about vignetting on a full frame e-mount. However I'm very impressed with the build quality of this lense. On my FX6 I'm not seeing any horrible vignetting wide open at 2.8. Sharp as well. And while I have not had much time to test it doesn't appear to exhibit too much Chromatic aberration. Especially when looking at YouTube reviews and comparing to the other larger focal lengths in this SLR Magic MicroPrime series which have pretty noticeable CA. Compared side by side with a 20mm Samyang Cine Prime. I'd prefer the quality and optics out of the SLR Magic. It's a winner.
