KIPON Colibri 50mm T2.5 Full-Frame Cine 50mm
Its 10-blade iris and T2.5 aperture produce a unique star-shaped bokeh, while full-frame coverage and a long 300° focus rotation enable precise manual pulling. The lens shares an 80mm front diameter, 77mm filter thread, and consistent color with the Colibri family, keeping a 499g weight for streamlined rig building. This is best for solo cinematographers and portrait shooters who want a compact, character-driven 50mm cine prime.
