KIPON Colibri 35mm T2.5 Full-Frame Cine 35mm
A 10-blade iris produces distinctive star-shaped bokeh, while the 300° focus rotation provides precise manual control on this full-frame 35mm T2.5 cine lens. Consistent 80mm front diameter, 77mm filter thread, and shared 0.8 MOD gear positions across the Colibri series simplify rigging and accessory swaps. This lens is best for independent filmmakers and portrait cinematographers who value a lightweight 405g build and expressive bokeh over rugged, weather-sealed construction.
