7Artisans Hope Series MI24061301-1 10mm
Its T2.1 aperture and 10mm focal length on APS-C deliver a bright, ultra-wide view, while the 15-element optical design and multi-layer nano-coating ensure sharp, filmic rendering with suppressed breathing effects. The 260-degree focus throw provides precise manual control, and the 10-blade diaphragm creates smooth bokeh, supporting a cinema-focused workflow. This lens is ideal for independent filmmakers and video creators using Sony E-mount APS-C cameras who need a wide-angle cine lens with consistent T-stops and accurate manual focus in staged or narrative shoots.
