Simmod APSARA LUMIERE 50mm T1.4 Super Speed 50mm
An ultra-shallow T1.4 aperture and 18-blade iris produce painterly bokeh and organic rendering with controlled flares, housed in a compact 668g body. The 270° focus rotation with 0.8 MOD gears and a soft, low-profile focus mark light enable precise, repeatable pulls for cinema workflows. This lens is best for portrait and narrative filmmakers seeking expressive, vintage-inspired character on full-frame Sony E-mount cameras.
